Octavia Hill

This year marks the centenary of the death of one of our founders, the brilliant social reformer and environmentalist, Octavia Hill. Octavia was passionate about encouraging people to enjoy the benefits of nature and open spaces.

Octavia Hill
“We all need space; unless we have it we cannot reach that sense of quiet in which whispers of better things come to us gently… [and we need] places to sit in, places to play in, places to stroll in, and places to spend a day in”
Octavia Hill, 1883
