A diverse range of wildlife is so much closer than you think. We want to find out more about the plant and animal species that live in the town. Do we have a wide variety of butterflies? How many sightings of hedgehogs are there? We would like your help to plot what we have and where.

Eventually, we would like to add the sightings to our own map of Wincanton. In the meantime, you can add your own finds to the iNaturalist website and you can download our map to see where the green spaces are in our town, the recreation grounds and parks, the patches of green around St Peter's church and within the cemetery.

Inaturalist is a website that maps wildlife and plants across the UK. Click on their logo to add your own sightings of plants and wildlife in Wincanton, and get help to identify what you've seen if you are unsure. There is also an app for your smart phone so you can do this whilst out and about using photos from your mobile.
