Ipswich
Suffolk Wildlife Trust is the county's nature charity – the only organisation
dedicated wholly to safeguarding Suffolk’s wildlife and countryside. The Trust
has led local nature conservation efforts in Suffolk for six decades and has
saved some of the county's most important wildlife sites as nature reserves. In
the past eight years the Trust has spent over £7 million buying land for
wildlife and currently cares for nearly 8000 acres of some of Suffolk's most
inspiring wild places. Our nature reserves are open to enjoy whenever you wish,
there is no charge - instead we ask you to help us look after them by becoming a
member. For animals and plants to thrive they need corridors of suitable habitat
- river valleys, hedgerows and gardens, where they can move safely through the
landscape. In this sense our nature reserves work as ecological hubs and we work
closely with neighbouring landowners, communities and partner organisations to
create swathes of wildlife-rich countryside where wildlife can spill out into
the wider landscape.
