About the event

Welcome to Suffolk Wildlife Trust!

Join us for a relaxed and informal event where guests will have the chance to discover more about Suffolk Wildlife Trust and all the great work the charity achieves across the county. In the beautiful setting of Carlton Marshes, staff and volunteers will be on hand to chat and answer questions about our work, nature reserves, events and volunteering. This event is perfect for new members who are looking to learn more about what we do. 

This is an opportunity to walk, explore and learn about the wildlife of Carlton Marshes. Wildlife Guides will be on hand to help you spot wildlife on the day and you can join a guided walk with the Warden at either 10:30 or 14:00. Get the best out of your visit by hiring a pair of binoculars or if you're visiting with children you can pick up one of our free trail sheets.

The café at Carlton sells great coffee and other barista drinks, a variety of savories, delicious cakes and snacks including vegetarian, vegan and GF options.
