There is no escaping the reality that Somerset’s climate is rapidly changing in our lifetimes. We are experiencing its predicted effects that impact our health, our day to day living, the prices we pay for food and wildlife populations around us. The county is vulnerable to rising sea levels and river flooding on low-lying land, while more unpredictable weather patterns will increase surface water flooding and wildfire risk across all areas, including higher ground. These changes affect us, our homes, our gardens and our spaces for wildlife.

Set up in 1986 as a joint venture between Somerset Wildlife Trust and Somerset County Council, Somerset Environmental Record Centre is a partnership organisation based within Somerset Wildlife Trust and is part of a network of local record centres across the UK.

We're keen to share our knowledge across Somerset, empowering communities to adapt to climate change. Are you interested to find out how you and your community can get involved? Here are some ways to talk, shape and act! Sign up to the Act to Adapt project newsletter here.
