Insects are essential to life on earth, including life in our garden. As pollinators, predators, prey and parasites they keep our garden healthy.

Gardening for wildlife
Collectively, our gardens can have a huge impact, forming ‘stepping stone’ habitats that enable wildlife to travel from green space to green space.
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.
