Caving for Nature!
Date to be announced soon - March 2025
Have you ever wanted to explore the world beneath our feet? Perhaps you’re an adrenaline junkie, or maybe you want to overcome a fear of small spaces? Or perhaps you simply want to do something amazing whilst raising vital funds for wildlife?
With ecological and climate emergencies declared, we need your urgent help to put nature on the road to recovery.
By Caving for Nature, you'll raise vital funds to help put a light at the end of the tunnel.
This introduction to caving challenge is expected to fill up quickly, so take a deep breath, secure your spot today, and you'll see things you can't imagine in the incredible underground world of the Mendip Hills.
Register interest by emailing fundraising@somersetwildlife.org
We’ve partnered with Aardvark Endeavours to put on this challenge.

Steve went Caving for Nature!
“Thanks again for a super experience on the Caving for Nature day out. I had never tried caving before and this little taster was really quite exciting but not too challenging for an old (72 year) goat like me. I was very surprised how few people had signed up. Their loss I say! If anyone wants to get an idea of what caving is about, this is an ideal way to get your toes in the water (literally) surrounded by a willing and competent team of guides.”
