Looking at conservation in the landscapes of Somerset and how we manage land to achieve more for wildlife, people and the economy.

Somerset Wildlife Trust works to protect and restore wildlife on our nature reserves and in the wider landscape. We do this through developing the counties key landscapes through working with neighbouring landowners and other key Somerset people and organisations.

Taunton is our county-town and is a town that still retains a rural, easy-going charm, lying in a natural valley between the Quantock, Blackdown and Brendon Hills. The town has retained a diverse array of wildlife despite continued growth, and although habitat connectivity throughout and around the town is quite limited, sites within Taunton still count rarer species like kingfisher, barn owls, dormice, water voles, otters, and bats amongst the wildlife contingent.

Somerset Wildlife Trust was formed in 1964 by a group of individuals who recognised the desperate need to take action to secure the future of wildlife in our wonderful and diverse county. Our vision remains an environment rich in wildlife for everyone, where people live happier, healthier lives.
