The science of Team Wilder
In order for nature to recover, we need many more people on nature’s side. The science shows that if just one person in every four (25%) visibly takes action, this can be enough to change the minds and behaviour of the majority. By taking visible action for nature, no matter how small, you can make an impact and invite more wildlife back into our lives.
We need to create a strong, interconnected network of wild spaces and healthy habitats that provide space for nature to thrive. Land of any size can contribute to this Nature Recovery Network – nature reserves, community spaces, gardens, farms, parks, churchyards and schools – it works at any scale.
With your help, we can put nature into recovery, create more space for wildlife to thrive, and reduce the pressure on the environment. This has to be a joint effort. We all have different skills, knowledge, and experience to offer. And we’ve got resources, events, training and advice to help get you started...

I do have reasons for hope: Our clever brains, the resilience of nature, the indomitable human spirit, and above all, the commitment of young people when they’re empowered to take action.Biologist and conservationist
Explore our Wilder Resource Library
There is so much information available online it can be overwhelming and not always clear which advice to trust! So, we’ve collated a library of resources which are created or recommended by Somerset Wildlife Trust staff.
Maybe you want to find out how to set up a community group, engage with the planning system or launch a campaign. Or perhaps you’re looking for guidance about tree planting, meadow creation or hedgerow management.
We’ve got advice sheets, template documents, webinars and case studies. You are also welcome to get in touch directly.

Our current projects
Anyone can take action for nature! Our Team Wilder advice, resources and events are open to all.
To help us deliver our overall goal of 1 in 4 people taking action for nature we also work on themed projects across the county focussing on specific areas. Thank you to our funders and supporters for making this happen. Find out about our current projects below.
