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.

Save our chalk streams!
The majority of the world’s chalk streams are found in England, and approximately 10% of these are found in Norfolk, which makes the county globally important for this rare habitat. Yet of the over 220 chalk streams found in England, just 11 of these have any legal protection. The Government now has a valuable opportunity to stand up for this precious habitat in their planning policy reforms.
Please join us in safeguarding Norfolk’s chalk streams.
