Somerset Wildlife Trust
Somerset is one of the most habitat-diverse and wildlife-rich counties in Britain. Somerset Wildlife Trust is an independent conservation charity working to ensure this remains the case. We rely on the support of our members, donors and volunteers, as well as income from grant-making bodies and companies, including profits from our ecological consultancy, to look after Somerset’s wildlife and wild places. This includes the nature reserves in our care and the creation of thriving ‘living landscapes’ across the Mendips, the Levels and Moors, Taunton, and Somerset’s coast. We also work to influence Somerset’s policy-making and planning decisions, which affect the county’s wildlife and the wider environment to ensure nature is at the heart of decisions on our county’s future. We believe access to wildlife and wild places is important for people of all ages to value wildlife and help protect it, and also to enhance the health and wellbeing of everyone who lives and works in our wonderful county.
