Earth Kin is our campaign to care for the living world around us, beginning in the places we inhabit. Every patch of soil, every tree, and every creature in our local ecosystems is connected to our well-being. When we care for our rivers, gardens, parks, and streets, we are caring for ourselves and our neighbours human and more-than-human alike.
Earth Kin mobilises communities to restore and protect local habitats: from planting and maintaining wildflower meadows, regenerating urban green spaces, and caring for waterways, to supporting pollinators, wildlife, and native species.
We also cultivate awareness about our everyday choices from what we eat and how far it travels, to how we share resources and reduce waste recognising that mindful consumption is an act of care for the living world that sustains us.
By taking responsibility for the local environment, we learn how to act in solidarity with wider ecological systems. Earth Kin demonstrates that flourishing begins close to home: thriving communities, healthy habitats, and mindful, reciprocal relationships with the living world are inseparable.

Above the Tall Tales building, members transformed a derelict rooftop into a vibrant community garden. The garden grows vegetables, herbs, and flowers, offering hands-on engagement with soil, pollinators, and seasonal cycles. Beyond food production, it functions as an ecological classroom, fostering understanding of urban biodiversity and the interconnectedness of humans and the natural world. Residents and neighbours cultivate the garden together, embedding stewardship, care, and shared responsibility into everyday life.

A mobile food hub co-designed by Lemon Leopard members from reclaimed materials, the Food Van brings fresh, seasonal produce to local communities. Beyond providing meals, it teaches mindful consumption: sourcing local ingredients, reducing food miles, and highlighting the connections between what we eat and the ecosystems that sustain us. The van also serves as a space for informal learning and conversation about sustainability, helping communities explore how daily choices impact the living world.

Members identify small, overlooked patches of urban land underused parks, roadside verges, or disused plots and transform them into mini-habitats for wildlife. Native plants, insect hotels, and bird boxes create safe spaces for pollinators, birds, and small mammals. These micro-habitats also become sites for community workshops, education, and collective reflection on how humans can coexist sustainably with local ecosystem.
