At Suffolk Wildlife Trust, we’re a friendly team of nearly 100 people working across the county to bring nature back to Suffolk. Established in 1961, we’re one of 46 Wildlife Trusts in the UK and the only one focused solely on safeguarding Suffolk’s wildlife & wild spaces. We manage over 7,700 acres across 60 nature reserves, from Lowestoft to Bury St Edmunds, helping local habitats recover & thrive.

Volunteering opportunities with Suffolk Wildlife Trust.

Suffolk Wildlife Trust does not allow fishing on their nature reserves. This is to prevent disturbance to river wildlife and habitats.

Where dogs are allowed on Suffolk Wildlife Trust nature reserves, they must be kept on leads in order to protect wildlife and habitats as well as to ensure that all visitors can see and enjoy wildlife.

We work hard to make our reserves exceptional places for wildlife and by keeping dogs on leads and walking on paths, disturbance to wildlife is kept to a minimum.

Across Suffolk hundreds of private landowners are managing a network of land for wildlife. Owners of Private Nature Reserves can request a free visit from our Conservation Adviser.
