Will you help give nature a fighting chance?

Our wildlife has never needed us more, but with your help we can bring Norfolk's nature back from the brink. 

Donate to our Centenary Appeal

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. 

In 2026, we mark 100 years of supporting Norfolk's nature. We hope you'll join us to celebrate this memorable year!

Can you spot an osprey chick on our camera?

Earlier this spring, a pair of osprey returned to Ranworth Broad and Marshes for their fourth consecutive year at the reserve. In 2025, they successfully fledged two chicks, making it the first known site in the region to host breeding osprey in 250 years. For the first time, a camera has been installed on the nest to follow their progress.

The pair have been diligently sitting on a clutch of eggs for a few weeks, and on Tuesday 26 May we spotted the first chick! Follow the progress of our family of fish-hawks by watching our nest camera.

Help us protect our beach-nesting birds!

Little tern, oystercatcher and ringed plover populations are in decline. Their small, well-camouflaged eggs are easily missed on our shingly beaches and all too often lost to disturbance.

On your next beach trip, you can help by keeping your distance from fenced nesting areas, staying alert for tiny chicks feeding along the shoreline, and keeping dogs under close control.
