National Volunteers' Week may be over but it's never too late to celebrate how amazing our team of Heal volunteers are 💚

Pictured are some of the fab bunch who lent their support to this year's Into The Light festival - without whom, the event simply couldn't run - but we are lucky enough to benefit from the time and expertise of a host of people across the country (and beyond!).

From surveying and proofreading documents to supporting events, community engagement, land management activities, creative projects, specialist advisory work and SO MUCH MORE, our volunteers provide vital support to Heal's work.

To every Heal volunteer: thank you thank you thank you. Your commitment, passion and generosity make a real difference, and we're incredibly grateful for everything you do.

We've got a fab lineup of speakers, workshops, trail cam footage (otters and beavers galore), tours, food, dancing and general fun 💃- and we can't wait to get started. Hope to see you there!

What happens when we put rewilding at the heart of the nature recovery conversation? 💚

Our brand new Heal Somerset State of Nature report explores this, as featured in yesterday's The Guardian article https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/01/nature-birds-bats-butterflies-rebound-heal-rewilding-somerset-farm.

The national State of Nature report sets out the scale of nature's decline but rewilding is only briefly mentioned - despite the rapid growth of projects across the UK and the early signs of ecological recovery they're starting to show.

Our new 72-page illustrated report is the first ever State of Nature report to focus solely on nature-led recovery. It uses robust data to contribute to the growing national evidence base and seeks to demonstrate how rewilding can sit alongside more traditional conservation approaches within national discussions about nature recovery.

From ecosystems under pressure to landscapes beginning to recover, our report shares a different lens. One where nature is given the chance to lead.

There's nothing plain about this so-called 'plain pollen-moth'! One of our talented volunteers Jen captured this beauty at Heal Somerset recently, and the team has been marvelling at the flamboyant bronze sparkle of the moth's wings and its furry crown.

Plain pollen-moths (Micropterix calthella) prefer damp habitat, notably woodland, marshes and meadow. You may be able to see them on buttercups, but the one pictured is resting on a cuckoo flower - another species we're delighted to see spreading out into the fields at Heal Somerset.

Moths are excellent pollinators - even these tiny micro-moths - and are a crucial part of a healthy ecosystem.
