Special #ClimateAmbassdors mini-series! Learn more about the scheme and get to know each of the England regional teams. Joining Kit Marie from the East Midlands hub is Matilda Crane. Drinking some Dragonfly Tea, they chat about faith and the environment, Jane Austin, and more!
Matilda is the Climate Ambassadors East Midlands Regional Hub Manager. She is a tree-hugging, bird-loving, slightly bonkers individual that has a passion for the environment and sharing the wonders of creation with others! Having followed Geography throughout my educational journey, I have worked in a number of different environmental and climate related roles, as well as spent some time in the classroom inspiring young people to be curious about the planet. When I'm not at work, you can find me outside in all types of weather, with my head in a book, or at church, as my Christian faith is a big driver of my passion to look after this world.
