A wilder Norfolk for all.

We're working to protect Norfolk's wildlife and the wild places they call home.

Norfolk Wildlife Trust has been protecting and restoring Norfolk's nature since 1926. Today, we manage over 60 nature reserves and other key sites for nature across the county. With the help of our supporters, we create, maintain, and protect habitats which nurture a thriving variety of wildlife, including some of Norfolk's rarest species. We are dedicated to inspiring more people to connect with and take action for nature; through visiting our nature reserves, volunteering, or joining us as a member.

Help us hold the UK Government to account!

We've tried to work with Ministers to highlight gaps for nature in the new Planning and Infrastructure Bill. Yet at every stage our efforts have been ignored. Enough is enough.

The fate of our most important places for nature and the laws that protect them are all at risk, including 100's of nature reserves like the Norfolk Broads and our precious rivers such as the Wensum and Glaven.
