Meet Godalming’s Earth Sprites

The Earth Sprites are emerging because the humans are damaging the planet. The humans need help, many of them are not aware of harm they are causing to the creatures of the land and sea, and to themselves!

Everybird was called from the woods near Haslemere; she is deeply connected to the trees and the birds.  During COP 26 she came to Godalming to the sound of a drum, a flute and the songs of concerned citizens. Her mission is to take messages from people in the street to the powerful people who can make most change.

Nolene, a troublesome Earth Sprite who cares deeply about the troublesome humans. She is a grumpy truth-sayer who was first seen in a garden in Farncombe. She doesn’t quite understand human’s obsession with being tidy and needing so many ‘things’; she has a deep love of garden wildlife.

Treebeard the ‘Wise’ wishes that we protect the trees and plants and all that live in them. He has created the World Wide Wood award for people and businesses who take care of the planet. Do you qualify?

Elsa, a majestic Earth Sprite, who protects the sea and all its creatures. The sea, the waves and the creatures of the oceans move within her. She is a delicate soul who likes the cold. She speaks in movement that comes with her from the depths of the ocean where not even David Attenborough has been.

Faraday is a scientific Earth Sprite, some say that he is really a human, no-one knows for sure. He is full of facts, data, analysis and understanding about the Climate and Ecological Crisis and he can’t wait to share his thoughts with anyone.

We are looking for more Earth Sprites

Earth Sprites are emerging all over the planet, but particularly in Godalming!

Godalming’s Earth Sprites emerged during COP26, when Treebeard, Elsa and Faraday awoke the troublesome Nolene and together they called upon Everybird to arise from the ‘Womb of the Earth’. The Earth Sprites have come to speak to humans about their concerns for our planet, the animals and plants, and to help fix things. Earth Sprites come into being through our imaginations and Godalming needs more to join the five we already have.

  • Do you have an Earth Sprite?
  • Can you imagine one?
  • What might it look like?
  • What does it want to say to us humans?
  • How can they help us save the planet for everyone?
  • Have you seen one somewhere else?

We have a task for YOU!

Describe the Earth Sprite you have imagined in words, with a drawing or painting, make a collage, make a puppet or dress up as your Earth Sprite. If you make something, or dress up, please use Earth Friendly materials.
