Take Action for Nature
Be part of Team Wilder within your community or group, bringing about the change nature needs together. Can we help you get connected and take action for nature in your local patch?
Bigger, better, more joined up
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.
There are many people across the county who have the passion and energy to drive positive change for nature in their local area, school, business, land, or workplace.
You may already be a part of an existing community group taking action for nature, or you may be looking to set your own one up. Can we help you get connected and take action for nature in your local patch?

Wilder Gardens and Allotments
If we all gave a little bit more space for wildlife within our gardens and allotments, just imagine how much habitat we would create overall for nature!

PCNR
The Private and Community Nature Reserve Network is set up to support owners, land managers and community groups who are keen to conserve wildlife on their land.
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

Wilder Land & Farming
Farmers and land owners are vital to nature's recovery and many are already leading the way in making space for wildlife.

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.

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.
