Honeygar is our first 'wilded' site, and it's an incredibly exciting project for the Trust.

Honeygar is located between the Trust’s Westhay Moor NNR, Westhay Heath and Catcott nature reserves in the Avalon Marshes, one of the largest and most important wetland areas in the UK. The site comprises 81 hectares of intensively grazed farmland backing onto the River Brue, a 200yearold farmhouse, and a collection of sheds and outbuildings, and was previously a dairy farm.

Honeygar is perfectly situated to connect the Trust’s existing nature reserves and those of our Avalon Marshes partner organisations, and also strengthen Somerset’s Nature Recovery Network by linking the Levels and Moors to the Mendips in the north, west to Bridgwater Bay and Somerset’s coast, and to South Somerset.

Honeygar will be the Trust's first ‘wilded’ site managed very differently to our nature reserves and a major project for the Trust, which will happen over many years. Over time, we hope it will become a place which inspires those who visit, whether other landowners, local people or visitors from further afield.

We've created this special film to help give you an insight into this amazing project and the work we've been doing in the heart of the Avalon Marshes. In the film, we discuss progress so far, our plans moving forwards, the importance of peat soils, and much more!
