Inspiring a Greener Future
For more than 25 years, Teresa Verney-Brookes has dedicated herself to inspiring people to care for nature and reconnect with the environment through creativity, learning and hands-on experiences.

Known to many as Professor Queen-Bee, Teresa uses a variety of art forms to communicate complex issues around wildlife conservation and sustainability in fun, accessible and engaging ways.

Her imaginative approach makes subjects such as biodiversity and sustainable living easier to understand, bringing these important issues to life with humour, creativity and hope.

Her work inspires countless young people, families and community groups to appreciate, value and protect the natural world around them. Teresa’s influence extends far beyond the projects she leads, leaving a lasting legacy of confidence, curiosity and environmental responsibility. Reading is a greener, kinder and more resilient community because of her vision, dedication and unwavering commitment.

Adding to the occasion, Laura Tobin from Good Morning Britain, a former student of the University of Reading, sent Teresa a special video message of congratulations.
