Wilderness Pilgrimage, Somerset

During the Summer holidays of 2025, Ash will show his appreciation and gratitude to his community by volunteering at the local rewilding site: Heal Somerset. He will then spend a night there, surrounded by the wild, completing his journey to adolescence.

Where is Ash volunteering and staying?

Ash is going to help out at the local rewilding and conservation site near our village: Heal Somerset. Heal’s ‘goal is to fully restore functioning ecosystems by giving nature space to restore itself – space where trees, plants and wildflowers can regenerate, where animals can live freely, and vulnerable species can recover. They are capturing specific, meaningful habitat and species data to provide scientific evidence that their efforts are making a difference.’ (Make longer and add more questions)

What will Ash do?

Ash is going to volunteer at Heal Somerset to help with monitoring and tracking wildlife density and numbers, biodiversity in woodlands and also do tests for things that we can do to help our environment to survive and thrive.
