SUMMARY:Hope In Action: The State of Nature at Heal Somerset
DESCRIPTION:Join Heal’s co-founder and CEO\, Jan Stannard\, for a presentation and walk which brings to life the findings from the Heal Somerset State of Nature Report 2026. \nThis is the first ever State of Nature report which focuses solely on rewilding and its aim is to produce tangible evidence that rewilding can drive rapid and meaningful ecological recovery and contribute our results to a national dataset for rewilding. \nThe land at Heal Somerset is recovering using nature-led approaches\, with our role being to help restore natural processes through interventions. These interventions include the introduction of animals acting as ecosystem engineers (pigs and\, in future\, cattle and ponies)\, the renaturalisation of water flows\, and natural and assisted regeneration of trees and scrub (such as blackthorn\, hawthorn\, bramble and wild rose). \nDuring the session\, Jan will share the thinking behind Heal’s approach\, talk about the interventions taking place across the site and discuss the first suite of species and habitat surveys that form the foundation of the report. \nFollowing the presentation\, you’ll join Jan on a guided walk through Heal Somerset to see these nature-led approaches in action and discover how rewilding can help tackle the UK’s biodiversity crisis\, strengthen climate resilience and create healthier\, more resilient ecosystems.

SUMMARY:Wild Guardians at 42 Acres
DESCRIPTION:A relaxed\, monthly volunteer gathering to support nature restoration. Rooted in a spirit of community and curiosity. Join us to learn new skills\, spend time in nature\, and connect with like-minded folk. \nCome and spend a few hours in nature doing something that matters. No experience is necessary\, just a willingness to get stuck in and try something new. \n42 Acres has been a rewilding nature reserve for over a decade and is species-rich. Join us to connect with the natural world through hands-on activities from wildlife surveying\, to tending habitats\, and slowing down with nature photography. \nSessions run on the last Sunday of the month 10am-2pm (except in May when we are meeting at 8pm for bats and beavers!). There will be time to connect\, wander\, and simply be outside. If you’re up for it\, you’re welcome to join in for a wild swim too. At 1pm we’ll stop and share a simple lunch together\, provided by 42 Acres. \n____ \nSun 31 May: Bats and Beavers: \nPart of the Great Somerset Wildlife Count\, with guest expert Keith Ball (Somerset Bat Group). Please note: this is an evening session\, running 8–10pm\, as we head out for some gentle nocturnal exploration. \nSun 28 June: Hazel Dormice & Reading Nature: \nJoin us to create footprint tunnels for hazel dormice to discover whether this protected species (that have been spotted on neighbouring land!) exist at 42. We’ll also take a relaxed walk around the 11-acre lake\, recording observations and contributing to global biodiversity databases. We’ll look for signs of beaver activity\, tracks\, and birdlife\, and finish at the white stork enclosure\, part of our species reintroduction work. Guided by Lynne Sewell (Sustainable Witham)\, Robyn Caple (@nestandnettleecology)\, and Lisa Hawes (42 Acres). \nSun 26 July: Butterflies\, Dragonflies + Pond Dipping: \nPart of the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme\, one of the longest-running insect surveys in the world. With guest expert Fred Giles\, we’ll explore the world of butterflies\, dragonflies\, and other insects\, with a chance to get closer through pond dipping and observation. \nSun 30 Aug: Reptiles and Botanics: \nJoin us to check reptile refuges across the site\, helping us understand which species are present (and which are likely absent). Or take a creative route\, help us start making a handmade herbarium for the site while learning how to “key out”\, a step by step process used to identify unknown plant species. \nSun 27 Sep: Trees\nDiscover the stories of Britain’s ancient and veteran trees\, and learn how to identify and photograph them in their late-summer form. \nSun 25 Oct: Harvest Mice and Native Fungi:\nHelp us ascertain whether harvest mice are present on the land at 42\, we’ll search together for their tiny nests. We’ll also explore the world of fungi\, discovering what’s emerging across the site at this time of year. \nPlease Note: \n– Gloves and wellies/boots are necessary.\n– If you have issues with mobility please let us know before signing up\, we will do our best to accommodate.\n– Please book only if you’re committed to attending and staying for the entire session.\n– If you become unable to attend\, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your space to someone else.\n– If rain stops play\, we have a Plan B and will aim to move inside to create bee bricks and/or a herbarium together.\n– Please speak with your licensed medical health professional if you have any health conditions or are pregnant.\n– As much as we love our four-legged friends\, we can not allow dogs on this experience. \nLocation & Arrival: \nPlease arrive 10 minutes before we begin. Meeting at The Hermitage car park. Full directions are on our website: www.42acres.com/getting-here \nTerms & Conditions: \nhttps://www.42acres.com/terms-and-conditions-workshops-and-experienc

SUMMARY:Beaver moon dusk walk with Nick Patel
DESCRIPTION:Join us at dusk as the November Beaver Moon rises over Heal Somerset’s wetlands. As daylight fades and the natural world shifts from the bustle of day to the quiet rhythms of night\, join us for a peaceful and immersive dusk walk through the rewilding landscapes of Heal Somerset. \nGuided by wildlife expert Nick Patel\, this gentle evening stroll invites you to tune into the changing sounds of nature — from the last songs of daytime birds to the emerging calls of owls and the fluttering presence of bats overhead. You’ll learn to identify bird calls and evening wildlife behaviours\, while also keeping an eye out for more hidden wonders like spiders spinning their webs and the emergence of late-season fungi among the undergrowth. \nThis is also a magical time to witness more elusive creatures such as foxes and of course beavers who are particularly busy in November getting their lodge and dams ready for the Winter. \nAs the walk draws to a close\, if weather allows we’ll gather around the fire pit to enjoy hot chocolate\, sharing reflections on the evening and the stories of rewilding that continue to unfold across the site. \nThis will be a gentle\, grounding way to end your day. \nAbout your guide\, Nick Patel: \nNick is a tour guide\, conservationist\, naturalist and birder and is passionate about helping to protect\, create and maintain British wildlife. A lifelong Birdwatcher\, and former Nature reserve Warden\, Nick has devoted his life to shouting about how amazing our native biodiversity is and just why we should care for it. \nNick says “Having led tours here at Heal Somerset for two years now\, I’ve witnessed first-hand the speed at which nature has already made a comeback. I’m super passionate about showing everyone who visits the site the wealth of wildlife bouncing back\, including some really beautiful species and fabulous rewilding habitats.”
