Speakers

Katrina Ridley is a dynamic broadcaster, presenter, and activist, known for her authenticity and passion for creating meaningful change. Now in her sixth year as a trusted voice on Heart Radio, and a regular contributor on BBC Morning Live, Katrina has turned her communication skills towards exploring nature, community and connection, and how redefine and bridge the gap in these areas.

Most recently she has launched the ‘Connect to Nature podcast’ with renowned gardener and co-host Amy Chapman, with two live recordings already scheduled at Kew Gardens this summer. Sponsored by The Woodland Trust and from the makers of BBC Gardeners’ World, they chat to some of the biggest names in the outdoor and environmental space, giving a new and representative narrative of our natural world.

With a growing and engaged social media following, she regularly partners with brands and causes that align with her values of intentional living and positive social impact. Katrina has collaborated with top charities and companies including WWF, Finisterre, Lucky Saint, Waitrose, Arc’teryx, and National Geographic, where she has been a long time host advocating for sustainable fashion, rewilding, and ethical consumerism.

With an energy of playfulness, warmth and integrity, Katrina uses her channels to inspire others to rethink the status quo, challenge norms, and embrace new perspectives, ultimately helping people live more purposefully and sustainably. Her work is weaved together by one mission; closing the knowledge and access gap towards nature, community and self …with a sprinkling of JOY and pop culture along the way!
