How your fundraising helps

Being part of Team Wilder is so much more than riding a bike, 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.
