With ecological and climate emergencies declared, we need your urgent help in raising vital funds to bring nature back from the brink.
Whatever your reason, we’re super excited to welcome you to Team Wilder!
Registration fee: £20
Sponsorship target: We think £130 is a good target to aim for, but there is no minimum sponsorship - every penny helps!
This challenge is expected to fill up quickly, so take a deep breath, and secure your place today.

How your fundraising helps
Being part of Team Wilder is so much more than stepping back over the cliff edge to abseil to the bottom - it is your chance to save wildlife for the future, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
It costs us almost £2,000 a day to manage all of our reserves, so every penny you raise will really help our wonderful wildlife here in Somerset.
