If there is a landscape that encapsulates dynamic and dramatic change, it is here on the edgelands of the Suffolk coast.
This week our reserve teams saw avocets galore at Hazlewood Marshes, recycled a Corsican pine and were busy pollarding and clearing ditches at our winter work parties.

We are hosting a number of volunteer recruitment days across our sites pop in and learn about what we have to offer.

Large scale drainage in the UK has seen a massive reduction in the range of this sensitive aquatic plant which now only occurs in around 50 sites in England.
