Nature Recovery in Somerset: Are we acting fast enough for today and tomorrow?
Nature Recovery in Somerset: Are we acting fast enough for today and tomorrow?
This year’s Wilder Matters Live event dives straight into this urgent question — bringing together expert voices and fresh perspectives to explore the pressures facing Somerset’s landscapes and what action is needed now to secure a resilient future for nature. Expect a dynamic, thought‑provoking session designed to challenge assumptions, spark debate and inspire practical solutions.
Wilder Matters Live focuses on the realities of landscape resilience in Somerset: how our natural systems are responding to climate change, ecological decline, land‑use pressures and wider social and economic shifts. Through short presentations and a chaired panel discussion, our speakers will examine the challenges ahead and share insight from conservation, research, land management and community engagement.
The session is designed to be open, constructive and engaging. You’ll hear a range of viewpoints, explore practical approaches, and have the chance to consider what action is needed now to build landscapes that can thrive for generations to come.
There’s also a chance to meet staff and trustees of the Somerset Wildlife Trust and find out more about our work across Somerset.
