Terms and conditions for our half price sale for membership in 2025

This brief code of conduct is to ensure our online event attendees know what they can expect from us in terms of how we will run a meeting and what we expect from those joining us.

The Wilder Gardening group (originally the Gardening for Wildlife group) was formed to provide support for those already enjoying wildlife gardening as well as to encourage others. Wilder Gardening Champions are volunteers who will happily visit to give advice and guidance on how to create, develop or improve your wildlife garden. We also give talks to gardening and other related groups on any topics associated with wildlife gardening. We have been involved in helping schools develop their grounds to increase biodiversity and maximise the learning potential for the children. We organise a newsletter and occasional events for all our group members.

Cetaceans are at risk due to continuous threats to them and their habitats, including capture and drowning in fishing gear, sound disturbance, marine pollution and over-fishing. The Bristol Channel has a resident population of harbour porpoises as well as being visited by various species of dolphin.

Sea Watch Foundation is a national charity working to improve the conservation and protection of whales, dolphins and porpoises. You can take part in its monitoring programme as volunteer observers through regular surveys along the coast organized by the Somerset Wildlife Trust. We also offer training by Sea Watch experts in how to carry out monitoring and surveying of this important group of sea mammals.

The information gathered by Sea Watch observers has been the primary source of knowledge about the relative status and distribution of cetacean around the British Isles.

We have several Wildlife Watch groups across the county, but we would love to establish more! If there isn’t a Wildlife Watch group in your area, then why not think about setting one up? Find out more.

Our Wildlife Watch groups are for children to make friends with other  nature-loving young people and have lots of fun taking part in practical nature activities  - from pond dipping to wildlife safaris.

Have you spotted a porpoise or other sea mammals in Somerset Waters? Whether you want to record a casual sighting or your sighting is part of your 2 hour land-based survey, submit your sightings here!
