A Q&A with Clare Wingfield

What are your loves?

I love to cycle – I regularly go out with my local cycle group and have cycled the 50-mile London to Brighton route, fundraising for Send a Cow. I also love to hike, particularly coastal paths along the Cornish and Welsh coastlines, and have climbed Mount Snowdon in Wales. If I’m at home, I like to practise yoga and nurture my vegetable garden.

How do you see the world in 25 years?

My hope is that the value of nature, and the goods and services it provides, will have greater importance than that of GDP when it comes to determining the health of our countries.

What is the hardest thing you’ve done in the last few years?

Home-schooling my children during lockdown, whilst also moving house and doing a Masters degree!

What’s the best holiday you’ve ever had?

Costa Rica – the rainforest, the flora and fauna, the wildlife, and the fact that 99% of its energy comes from renewable sources makes this the most amazing country.
