Norfolk's Nature Needs a Home appeal
Please donate today and help secure a home for nature in Norfolk.
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.

We need your voice!
By law, most new developments in England must leave nature in a better state than before, by improving or creating new habitats. This process is called Biodiversity Net Gain or BNG.
This is being put at risk by new proposals from UK Government which would mean the vast majority of new developments will be exempt from this process. That’s bad for wildlife, and also bad for people.
