Our vision for a Wilder Somerset


O


ur vision for Somerset is a county teaming with wildlife valued by everyone. We see


landscapes full of flowers, accompanied by a chorus of birdsong and buzzing with insects. We envisage habitats, green spaces and natural places of all shapes and sizes that are enjoyed, shared and cared for by people and their communities, woven together into a rich, living tapestry – an environmental life support network for the entire county. We picture a healthy and resilient environment where the needs of wildlife, people, and local economies are balanced in a way that will support our lives now, and those of our children in the


future. The natural world is at the heart of our wellbeing and prosperity; we depend on it and it depends on us. To realise this vision we all need to do more, and faster.


Somerset Wildlife Trust is coming to the end of its five year strategy. Moving forwards we want to ensure that we use all our resources wisely so as to have the greatest impact for the natural environment of our beautiful county and our wildlife. We would like all our key stakeholders, decision makers, members and supporters to help us develop a new strategy that will achieve this. We want to understand beter how we can support people to take bigger steps on a shared journey towards a Wilder Somerset.
