The RoAM experts have a wealth of knowledge on many different subjects and they love to share interesting facts about the flora, fauna and fungi of the Somerset wetlands.

These new information pages have been designed to show the amazing range of creatures, large and small, found here and in the surrounding areas. Also details about the new DNA barcoding work now being undertaken by RoAM.
