Suffolk Wildlife Trust in Ipswich

We deliver events, activies, community projects, and school visits in Ipswich to inspire and support local people to take action for urban wildlife. 

As Suffolk’s county town, some may see Ipswich as a highly urbanised place with little room for wildlife. However, Ipswich is in fact bursting with urban wildlife, such as hedgehogs, stag beetles, solitary bees, green woodpeckers…the list goes on! It is more important than ever for us to be conserving and creating more habitats for wildlife in Ipswich.

So, let’s take a lead and make Ipswich wild!
