Nextdoor Nature

Norfolk Wildlife Trust wants to help you help nature!

Do you have a dull patch of land nearby that you can help burst into life? Do you want to work with neighbours along your street to create a super-highway for hedgehogs, bees and birds? Do you want to make the space where you work full of colour and vibrancy?

Norfolk Wildlife Trust, with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to mark the Queen's Jubilee, is seeking residents, community groups, work colleagues and others who want to come together to make a difference for nature in their area.

We are focusing on working with the communities living close by to NWT Sweet Briar Marshes and looking for projects to support in the Mile Cross, Marlpit, North Earlham and Wensum ward areas.
