Wilder Churches is a partnership initiative between Somerset Wildlife Trust and the Diocese of Bath and Wells. The initiative aims to support communities to get to know the wildlife in their local churchyard, other church land or burial ground and work together to find ways to increase the value of these special places for wildlife.

Anyone is welcome, whether they've been part of the initiative for years or are wondering where to start.
