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.
In 2026, we mark 100 years of supporting Norfolk's nature. We hope you'll join us to celebrate this memorable year!

You could be the difference between a thriving habitat and a scorched one!
As we continue to experience weeks of high temperatures and very little rainfall, the risk of wildfires starting on our nature reserves is at an all-time high.
Sadly, as we are witnessing across the UK and Europe, wildfires can be incredibly hard to put out and result in devastating impacts on landscapes, wildlife and communities.

Help us protect our beach-nesting birds!
Little tern, oystercatcher and ringed plover populations are in decline. Their small, well-camouflaged eggs are easily missed on our shingly beaches and all too often lost to disturbance.
On your next beach trip, you can help by keeping your distance from fenced nesting areas, staying alert for tiny chicks feeding along the shoreline, and keeping dogs under close control.
