A wilder Norfolk for all

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

38,000 members
1,380 volunteers
41 reserves to visit

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.

Norwich Western Link

Despite warnings from wildlife experts, Norfolk County Council have submitted a planning application for the Norwich Western Link Road. 

The planning consultation is now open and everyone who cares about nature can have a say.
