Somerset Action Plans
The overall Somerset Biodiversity Strategy, known as “Wild Somerset”, represents a long term blueprint for successful biodiversity conservation in Somerset. It proposes a vision and long term goals for biodiversity conservation locally and what will be done to achieve them. A new leaflet summarising biodiversity in Somerset and how you can get involved can be downloaded here. Free copies are currently available from Ali.
These Action Plans apply across the County
