Wilder Open Gardens
Do you give nature a helping hand in your garden? Or perhaps your garden hosts a sea of snowdrops or a blanket of bluebells? No matter how large or small your outdoor space is, Somerset Wildlife Trust want YOU to open your Wilder Garden, to inspire your friends, family and neighbours to make their own spaces more wildlife friendly too. And, if you were to include a little tea and cake, you could raise vital funds for wildlife at the same time.

The Great Somerset Wildlife Count
Reports of wildlife loss, such as the 2020 Living Planet released by the WWF, continue to highlight the perils our natural world is experiencing. Here at SERC, we currently hold over 3 million data records. However, the majority of these are focused on protected or rare species. We have a lack of knowledge about the more common species in Somerset and so are not able to monitor trends in numbers or geographical spread. To try and address this, SERC & SWT will work together quarterly to deliver a seasonal community science survey to monitor abundance levels of common species across Somerset.
