Standing up for Nature is a fairly broad objective for the Trust. It can be argued that it actually underpins all of our work and Living Landscape programmes. Find out what our current campaigns are here.

With 66 stunning nature reserves there is something for everyone, from the levels and moors to the coast, come and explore Somerset today.

Thanks to £5 million funding across the UK from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Nextdoor Nature will provide people with the advice and support they need to help nature on their doorstep, and leave a lasting natural legacy to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

We need your help to get to that magic moment and tip the balance in nature's favour. We need you to join Team Wilder - a team of people taking action for nature and wildlife across the county that they care about; doers, movers, shakers, ambassadors, campaigners and changemakers.  Because only together can we bring about the change that nature needs.

The first Somerset State of Nature report 2023 provides an important benchmark of how wildlife is faring across our county and follows the national State of Nature Report launched in September 2023.

People need wildlife. We believe that everyone deserves to live in a healthy, wildlife-rich world and experience the joy of nature.

Our vision for a network, making space for nature to meet the needs of wildlife and people.

New report from The Wildlife Trusts shows how investing in nature would reap big dividends in tackling climate crisis.

Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, the Somerset Nature Connections partnership project with Somerset Wildlife Trust, Mendip Hills, Quantock Hills and Blackdown Hills National Landscapes will support local communities and individuals most vulnerable to mental health issues, providing better access to nature spaces to encourage and increase self-management for individuals, and develop a network of skilled volunteers who can support communities for the longer term

A Nature Recovery Network is a joined-up system of places important for wild plants and animals, on land and at sea.

It allows plants, animals, seeds, nutrients and water to move from place to place and enables the natural world to adapt to change. It provides plants and animals with places to live, feed and breed.

It can only do this effectively if, like our road network, it is treated as a joined-up whole.
