Our nature reserves
Our reserves are wild landscapes dedicated to protecting wildlife, restoring habitats, and providing space for nature to thrive.
We manage over 2,900 hectares (7,100 acres) of land on 50 nature reserves across the county of Suffolk. However, nature reserves alone cannot provide the space needed for wildlife to recover. That is why we are increasing our landscape recovery work with farmers, landowners and communities across the county to achieve our collective goal to restore 30% of land and sea in Suffolk for nature.
Please remember that our nature reserves are precious havens carefully managed for wildlife. To help minimise the impact of your visit, please make sure to stick to the paths, keep dogs on leads, and follow any on-site notices.
Our reserves are FREE for visitors, which is made possible thanks to regular donations from our members. If you love visiting our reserves, please consider becoming a member from £4 a month to help us continue our work for a wilder Suffolk.
