Meet our Human-Wildlife Co-existence Officer!

At the end of last year, we welcomed our new Human-Wildlife Co-existence Officer, Alicia Hallatt.

Alicia will work with communities to increase understanding about species returning to Somerset and their possible impacts. Listening to people's concerns, she will also play a pivotal role in helping establish systems, so that people can benefit from the many advantages these species will bring for nature and communities, including flood and drought mitigation, climate adaption and restoring a resilient ecosystem, while simultaneously minimising challenges that might arise.

Alicia's role was made possible through our successful 2023 Green Match Fund appeal, which was championed by The Reed Foundation. A massive thank you to everyone who made it possible to secure this exciting new position!
