ECO-cultural consultation

environmental communications

​

Jodie Bond is an eco-cultural consultant working at the intersection of land, people and story. She helps organisations navigate the complex, often competing demands placed on landscapes today, translating policy, science and local knowledge into shared visions that people can understand, believe in and act on. Her practice is rooted in Wales and draws on Welsh language and culture, while extending to landscape and nature-recovery work across the UK.

​

As co-founder and director of Landed Futures, Jodie works with landowners, public bodies and communities to shape the future of land use. Her work led to the development of a strategy for the Black Mountains Land Use Partnership, supporting the collaboration to secure £1 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to deliver large-scale environmental change. She works on communications and policy influence for the Llifo project, which aims to improve river health while amplifying the voices of young campaigners in the Usk catchment. Her practice also includes shaping governance frameworks at a national level, from land-use case studies for the Office of the Future Generations Commissioner to working with the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales on Senedd-hosted events on governing with nature. Other recent commissions include an immersive cinemascape experience for the Woodland Trust, designed to educate audiences about tree equity.

Jodie's approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change depends on cultural connection as much as technical solutions, and on cultivating more reciprocal, nature-centric relationships between people and place. She specialises in storytelling and facilitation that is human, resonant and rooted in place: work that brings farmers, policymakers, businesses and communities around a shared narrative. Recent facilitation projects include participatory workshops with young river advocates on the Usk, the Museum of Memorable Trees in Cardiff, and creative writing sessions that invite people to articulate their own relationships with the living world.

​

This builds on her role as Head of Communications for Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, where she led an award-winning rebrand that repositioned the Park as a catalyst for environmental change, generating over a thousand pieces of coverage worldwide. The campaign was called 'genius marketing' by the Guardian and included a film starring Michael Sheen, which has been adopted by three international universities as an example of best practice in climate communication.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Her work has been recognised with three CIPR PRide Awards, two Comms2.0 UnAwards, a STAR Engagement Award and a World Brand Design Award. Alongside her consultancy, she delivers training in climate and nature storytelling for organisations including the National Trust, BBC Writersroom and Immediate Media. She has shared her learnings at events including the BBC Climate Creatives Conference, Hay Festival and Earth Summit.

​

Jodie's  journalism has appeared in the Guardian, BBC, the Telegraph and National Geographic. Her writing often explores the shifting relationship between people and the natural world, and the cultural stories that shape how we value, use and care for land.

​

At its heart, her work is about helping people see landscapes not as problems to be solved but as living systems we belong within, and from there, to imagine new possibilities for their future.
