A wilder Norfolk for all

We're working to protect Norfolk's wildlife and the wild places they call home.

We have been protecting and restoring Norfolk's wildlife since 1926.

Today, Norfolk Wildlife Trust manages over 60 nature reserves and other key sites for nature across the county. With the help of our supporters, we create, maintain, and protect habitats which nurture a thriving variety of wildlife, including some of Norfolk's rarest species. We are dedicated to inspiring more people to connect with and take action for nature; through visiting our nature reserves, volunteering, or joining us as a member.

A wilder way to learn

Our popular Wilder Communities workshops are back!

This exciting 2025 programme is full of talks and practical sessions designed to support and inspire individuals, communities and groups acting for nature in their local area.

Whether you want to raise funds for a community wildlife project, encourage new plants and animals into your local green space, or learn how you can speak up for wildlife on your patch, there is a Wilder Communities workshop for everyone.

Eyes to the skies!

Spring is nearly here and it's time to look out for returning swallows, house martins, and swifts! 

Recording wildlife is a great way to get involved in wildlife conservation and citizen science. Your records can help us locate areas that are especially important for wildlife and identify species in decline or under threat - like these wonderful summer migrants. Help us put these special birds on the map by submitting your records!
