A wilder Norfolk for all.

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

Norfolk Wildlife Trust has been protecting and restoring Norfolk's nature since 1926. Today, we manage 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.

Start your New Year in nature

Start your January off in the best way possible by visiting one of our nature reserves and spotting some of Norfolk's wonderful winter wildlife. 

Cley and Salthouse Marshes, Holme Dunes, and Hickling Broad are great places to take in wintery scenery, blow away the cobwebs with a brisk walk, and spot anything from otters to pink-footed geese. Each reserve has a welcoming visitor centre, where you can warm up and refuel with snacks and hot drinks, chat to our team about your sightings, or browse our range of fascinating nature books.
