It's #WorldRewildingDay! We are really pleased to see rewilding stepping up a gear here in Somerset, with great projects like those run by @SWildlands and @HealRewilding to name a few.

If you're rewilding somewhere in the county, get in touch!

We are very excited that @HealRewilding have acquired their first site right here in Somerset!

The team hope to boost biodiversity and combat climate change by letting the 460 acre site grow wilder, and we can't wait to see where it goes.

Looking to add some more trees to your land? Residents in north-east Somerset can get hold of up to 5 trees at a bargain price, for a very limited time only.
Note: only a few native species are available, but definitely worth a look.
