Somerset is home to a staggering variety of plants and animals. This variety of wildlife is what we mean when we talk about biodiversity. Somerset is the only place in the UK where you’ll find the Cheddar Pink flower and other rare and threatened species in the county including the Wood White butterfly and Greater Horseshoe Bat. The Somerset Biodiversity Partnership is working to protect our unique wildlife. Find out more by clicking on the link above.
The Partnership has adopted Biodiversity Action Plans for Somerset. A ten year Somerset Biodiversity Strategy for the whole County and Local Biodiversity Action Plans for all five districts have been agreed. There are also 14 habitats and seven species with their own Action Plans. To access the BAPs, click here
Here you can keep up to date with Somerset Biodiversity Partnership projects such as Keeping South Somersets Orchards Alive and Biodiversity Delivery Areas. News for the wider Biodiversity Forum is also posted here.
A selection of upcoming events organised by or involving the Partnership and Forum members are posted here. Visit regularly to see what's on.
To reverse the loss of wildlife habitats and species in Somerset, we need everyone’s help. You can get involved by volunteering your time on conservation projects, wildlife surveys or finding out more at a walk or talk.
