Suffolk Wildlife Trust is Suffolk's nature charity, exclusively dedicated to safeguarding the county's wildlife and countryside. With six decades of experience, the Trust has played a leading role in local nature conservation efforts. Saving some of the region's most important wildlife sites as nature reserves, the Trust currently cares for nearly 8000 acres of inspiring wild places.

The Trust's nature reserves are freely accessible and open for everyone to enjoy. Instead of charging fees, the Trust encourages visitors to become members and support the care and preservation of these vital habitats. Recognizing the importance of wildlife corridors, the Trust actively works with neighboring landowners, communities, and partner organizations to create expansive wildlife-rich landscapes that allow animals and plants to move safely throughout the region.

The Trust's team of dedicated staff and volunteers possess unparalleled expertise and understanding of Suffolk's natural world. They work tirelessly to protect habitats and species, making over 500 site visits each year. By focusing on flagship species like the dormouse, hedgehog, swift, water vole, lapwing, and skylark, the Trust takes action to ensure the survival of these threatened species.

Education and learning are also top priorities for the Trust. With a network of nature reserves and learning centers, they offer unparalleled opportunities for children and young people to engage with and explore the natural world. Through innovative and exciting educational programs, the Trust nurtures a love for nature and fosters the next generation of conservationists.

Membership subscriptions, donations, and grants primarily fund the Trust's important work. With 27,000 members, 50 nature reserves, over 1,400 volunteers, and 197 upcoming events, Suffolk Wildlife Trust continues to make a significant impact on Suffolk's wildlife and countryside
