Join us, support nature
The support of our members is key to our success enabling us to deliver plans for nature’s recovery, improving the natural environment of Somerset for the benefit of wildlife and people.
Restoring Somerset’s nature
With the help of volunteers and the support of over 23,000 members, we look after some of Somerset's most iconic landscapes and special wildlife. We restore, strengthen and connect habitats and green spaces on a landscape scale so nature can recover and thrive in the future. We inspire people and communities to put nature into their everyday life and stand up for the natural environment upon which we all depend.
Things to do and places to go
The Wildlife Trusts play a very important part in protecting our natural heritage. I would encourage anyone who cares about wildlife to join them.
