Wildlife Gardening Awards

Somerset Wildlife Trust recognise we need to create a strong, interconnected network of wild spaces and healthy habitats that provide space for nature to thrive. Actively caring for and managing land of any size can contribute to a Nature Recovery Network – nature reserves, community spaces, farms, parks, churchyards, schools, residential gardens, a residential postcode area or a town district – every green space has a part to play.

Filming and photography on our Nature Reserves

Our nature reserves have been used as locations by a wide range of media. The nature of requests vary widely and we are usually happy to accommodate them if possible as long as disturbance to wildlife can be kept to a minimum.
