| What We Do | | Living Landscapes | | Brue Valley Living Landscape |
Somerset Wildlife Trust’s Brue Valley Living Landscape project is working to restore, recreate and reconnect wildlife habitats across this valuable area of wetland.
We need to do this because the habitat our wildlife depends on has become fragmented leaving stranded pockets of wildlife vulnerable to changing conditions, such as rising or falling water levels.
The beautiful wetlands of the Brue Valley are rich with wildlife including threatened otters, lapwings and striking pink southern marsh orchids. If we don’t link up these islands of habitat and create highways our wildlife can move around we risk losing some of our most valuable species.
We will work towards a landscape where wildlife can flourish alongside thriving rural communities that benefit from a healthy natural environment
The Trust’s Living Landscape project could play a vital part in tackling climate change. It’s all about creating a network of wildlife rich countryside so wildlife can move through the landscape increasing the chances of survival in a changing environment. It is important that we work with farmers and local people to achieve this. We want to see a landscape where everyone benefits from a wildlife rich environment.
