This episode is with Lucy Bourton, a senior editor at It's Nice That.

Lucy joined It’s Nice That as a staff writer in July 2016 after graduating from Chelsea College of Art.
In this conversation, we spoke about the Rewilding Creativity project that Lucy recently worked on in collaboration with BBC Earth.
This series was created as part of “Our Green Planet”, a digital initiative from BBC Earth in association with The Moondance Foundation, which aims to raise awareness for the beauty and fragility of our planet’s green ecosystems, and to inspire audiences with stories of people around the globe dedicating their lives for positive change.

The project came to life as a series of commissions that both asked and answered the question, can creativity be a catalyst for change?

Lucy talked in detail about how the partnership, the team, the project, and the commissions came together, as well discussing It’s Nice That’s mission to champion creativity, and her own thoughts and interpretation of what creativity means.
