Species and habitats
In the last few decades Suffolk’s landscape has changed enormously.
Intensive farming, forestry, commerce and house building have swallowed up vast areas of what was once wild countryside.
Suffolk Wildlife Trust believes that everyone should have access to local wildlife-rich areas. The green spaces in a village are valuable not only for wildlife but in many other ways, as they can be an educational resource and provide space for recreation and relaxation.
Our conservation team work with people across the county, offering advice, undertaking species surveys and in a consultancy capacity to improve habitat for Suffolk species.
We monitor planning applications, visit land owners, create habitat management plans and publish books such as ‘Mammals of Suffolk’ by Simone Bullion.
