There’s a huge range of ways you can get involved in our work across the county from practical volunteering to family events, finding adventures on our reserves with all the family or going wild in your own back garden.

All across Somerset people are coming together in their schools, churches, work places and communities to do what they can to help nature recover.

We need your help to get to that magic moment and tip the balance in nature's favour. We need you to join Team Wilder - a team of people taking action for nature and wildlife across the county that they care about; doers, movers, shakers, ambassadors, campaigners and changemakers.  Because only together can we bring about the change that nature needs.

Working together for a Wilder Somerset.

The Wilder Gardening group (originally the Gardening for Wildlife group) was formed to provide support for those already enjoying wildlife gardening as well as to encourage others. Wilder Gardening Champions are volunteers who will happily visit to give advice and guidance on how to create, develop or improve your wildlife garden. We also give talks to gardening and other related groups on any topics associated with wildlife gardening. We have been involved in helping schools develop their grounds to increase biodiversity and maximise the learning potential for the children. We organise a newsletter and occasional events for all our group members.
