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.

Start your New Year in nature
Start your January off in the best way possible by visiting one of our nature reserves and spotting some of Norfolk's wonderful winter wildlife.
Cley and Salthouse Marshes, Holme Dunes, and Hickling Broad are great places to take in wintery scenery, blow away the cobwebs with a brisk walk, and spot anything from otters to pink-footed geese. Each reserve has a welcoming visitor centre, where you can warm up and refuel with snacks and hot drinks, chat to our team about your sightings, or browse our range of fascinating nature books.

12 Days Wild
Take part in our festive nature challenge, encouraging you to do one wild thing a day from the 25 December to the 5 January!
In those quiet days between Christmas and New Year, winter wildlife is just waiting to be explored. Your wild acts could be little things to help nature - like recycling your Christmas tree or feeding the birds – or ways to connect to the natural world, like trying stargazing.
