Glastonbury & Pilton WILDLIFE SANCTUARY

Our ethos is twofold.

To help local wildlife whilst benefiting the health and wellbeing of our volunteers.

Our long term aim is to establish safe, stress free routes and habitats that make it possible for wildlife to move around the local area but also creates a network of corridors that wildlife can utilise when affected by

Glastonbury Festival.
This will help to provide wildlife safety and an opportunity to relocate quickly and easily with as little stress as possible if or when required.
This will also encourage and expedite wildlife’s easy and stress free return once viable.
This way we can create a sustainable wildlife population in the area.

​

These are some of the projects and strategies we are working on or developing.

Wildlife Homes and Hotels

​

Building and placing bespoke wildlife homes and hotels, like bat boxes, bee hotels, hedgehog hotels and bird boxes for a variety of species along existing boundaries, hedgerows, tree lines, bridleways and footpaths.

Freshwater Habitats

​​

Working with existing freshwater habitats and creating new  ones,
this includes improving the way ditches, streams and other  waterways link the various areas.

Wildflowers

Planting wildflowers and sowing wildflower seeds.
When our volunteers take mindfulness countryside walks we provide them with packets of wildflower seeds to scatter and sow. This way encourages repeat activity as they are eager to view any results and look for new signs of growth.
