Tom Curtis

Director

Tom Curtis is one of 3Keel’s Founding Directors, and his principal focus is on helping make the connection between sustainable businesses and sustainable landscapes. Businesses and investors across sectors are recognising that the condition of natural systems is material to their long-term ability to thrive. This is both about businesses’ impact on the environment, and the impact of degraded environments on business. Grounding himself in his practical experience, Tom works at a strategic level to understand, manage and help reverse these impacts.

Tom is the originator of Landscape Enterprise Networks (LENs). LENs brings organisations together to co-fund regenerative agriculture and nature-based solutions to drive landscape resilience. Its aim is to regenerate the landscapes we all depend on. Cited in the UK Government’s 25-year plan for the environment, LENs aims to both ‘create business value from healthy landscapes’ and to ‘drive investment in healthy landscapes by mobilising their value to business’.

Tom’s background is in forestry and mixed farming, interests that are reflected in voluntary work. Until Spring 2025, Tom was the long-term Chair of Trustees at the Soil Association Land Trust. He is a regular member of the organising Committee for Food and Farming Consultations at St George’s House, Windsor, and has recently become a Trustee of Green Estate. GE is one of the largest social enterprises in South Yorkshire, with a mission to grow green and resilient urban places for people and nature to thrive.
