About us
We're a voluntary group made up of people who live in and around the village of Sherston in Wiltshire. We have a passion for the natural world and we want to share it with you.
It all started off as an idea to hold one or two local events and possibly a talk or two in the village. It quickly grew to be a festival of the natural world.
We're fortunate to have the support of many people including as well as national experts in their fields. We have received funding from Wiltshire Council's Malmesbury Area Board and local community development charity MVCAP is helping us with the organisation and management of Wild Sherston.
