The Verse Aid Poem-a-Thon is a day-long event by Poets for the Planet, a community of kindred poets, performers, artists and creative activists raising our voices to engage with climate and ecological emergency through poetry in all its forms.

(We're raising money for two brilliant charities: Earthwatch, and Bees for Development Trust. You decide who to donate to. This page is for Earthwatch).

Earthwatch is an international environmental charity taking action through hands-on projects around the world. Their focus is tackling the effects of climate change, the declining wealth of our rivers and oceans, and the loss of wildlife and habitats. Thank you so much for any support you can give.
