Gardening for wildlife

Collectively, our gardens can have a huge impact, forming ‘stepping stone’ habitats that enable wildlife to travel from green space to green space.

Restoring Somerset’s nature

With the help of volunteers and the support of over 23,000 members, we look after some of Somerset's most iconic landscapes and special wildlife. We restore, strengthen and connect habitats and green spaces on a landscape scale so nature can recover and thrive in the future. We inspire people and communities to put nature into their everyday life and stand up for the natural environment upon which we all depend.

The Wildlife Trusts play a very important part in protecting our natural heritage. I would encourage anyone who cares about wildlife to join them.
