One of the Trust's greatest strengths is our network of local volunteers, who represent the Trust in their local community. This helps to give the Trust a high profile throughout Suffolk and gives local communities an opportunity to become directly involved in our work.

Our key local contacts are our network of 14 local groups. They organise a wide range of activities throughout the year to provide opportunities for people to enjoy and find out more about local wildlife and to encourage more support for the Trust.

The wide variety of activities organised by the groups range from guided walks and reserve open days, to slide talks, plant sales, coffee mornings and art shows! Visit the events diary to plan your days and nights out.

The Trust's local groups depend on the dedication of their volunteers - from running cake stalls to delivering magazines and recruiting members. Click on the group names to find out more about their activities and the ways they support the Trust.
