About Suffolk Wildlife Trust

Suffolk Wildlife Trust is the nature charity for Suffolk – the only organisation wholly dedicated to protecting wildlife and restoring wild landscapes.

Founded in 1961, Suffolk Wildlife Trust has led local conservation efforts for over 60 years - protecting endangered species, restoring the natural evnironment, and inspiring people to connect with nature.

We care for over 7,100 acres across 50 nature reserves - wildlife-rich havens that vital for nature's recovery and for local communities as free-to-visit wild places.

As habitat loss, pollution, and climate change threaten wildlife, our work is more important than ever , and now extends beyond our reserves. We collaborate with communities, schools, farmers, landowners, councils and MPs to create a nature-positive Suffolk, where wildlife has the space to thrive once again.
