Wilder Matters is a series of live online events from Somerset Wildlife Trust which help you get to heart of the biggest environmental topics of the day and their relevance to Somerset. Find out more.

Insects underpin our natural world and their numbers can help us to better understand what is happening in our environment so join in our Bugs Matter survey now!

Thanks to £5 million funding across the UK from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Nextdoor Nature will provide people with the advice and support they need to help nature on their doorstep, and leave a lasting natural legacy to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

We need your help to get to that magic moment and tip the balance in nature's favour. We need you to join Team Wilder - a team of people taking action for nature and wildlife across the county that they care about; doers, movers, shakers, ambassadors, campaigners and changemakers.  Because only together can we bring about the change that nature needs.

The first Somerset State of Nature report 2023 provides an important benchmark of how wildlife is faring across our county and follows the national State of Nature Report launched in September 2023.

With 66 stunning nature reserves there is something for everyone, from the levels and moors to the coast, come and explore Somerset today.

People need wildlife. We believe that everyone deserves to live in a healthy, wildlife-rich world and experience the joy of nature.

Standing up for Nature is a fairly broad objective for the Trust. It can be argued that it actually underpins all of our work and Living Landscape programmes. Find out what our current campaigns are here.
