Somer Valley

Rediscovered

The Somer Valley lies to the south of Bath and is within Bath & North East Somerset.

The project has dual aims of improving biodiversity whilst better connecting communities to their local greenspaces and landscapes.

Somer Valley Rediscovered Greenspaces: User Feedback Form
At B&NES council we’ve received funding from WECA to make various improvements to five greenspaces in the Somer Valley area. We want to understand the difference we’ve made to both the biodiversity of the sites and the benefits of these improvements for site users, so we can continue to improve these areas for the local community. Responses are anonymous and will be analysed independently by ERS Ltd., a local research company.
