Team Wilder resource library
Lots of resources to help you manage land, inspire others and live a little wilder everyday.
Explore the Team 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.
Community Action
Whether you are part of an existing community group or want to start one of your own to make a difference for nature on your patch, let us help you make things happen.

Wilder Gardening
We're on a mission to help everyone in Somerset who looks after a garden to give more space to wildlife.

Land Management
Nature Recovery Networks are linked corridors of environmentally rich habitat that allow plants and animals to thrive, spread and adapt to change.
No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced.
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.

Planning and Development
When it comes to where we live and work, the real challenge we face is providing places where people can lead happier, healthier lives and have more control over what happens in their communities.
Speak up for Nature
We campaign for a wilder future, where everyone can benefit from and enjoy wildlife near them. Find out how you can get involved in digital and face-to-face advocacy in this campaigning toolkit.
