This is one of a series of events organised by West Somerset Wildways: part of Somerset Wildlife Trust’s Wilder Communities initiative. West Somerset Wildways has two key aims: to enable people of all ages to engage with wildlife, and to support people in using the iNaturalist app to contribute to the digital map of the county’s nature. West Somerset Wildways is part of the Somerset’s Wilder Coast project, funded by the HPC Community Fund and the National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund.
