• They manage the Norfolk County Wildlife Sites designation, where more than 1,300 sites cover 15,000 hectares.
• There are 90 businesses enrolled in their Investors in Wildlife scheme.
• In 2023/24, 1,500 committed volunteers supported every aspect of their work, from wildlife surveying to administration.
• They have four visitor centres and a thriving education centre offering events, workshops and exhibitions.
• In 2023/24 they connected over 11,000 children and young people with nature on their nature reserves, in education settings and at events. 
• They are active participants in the mission of The Wildlife Trusts to secure 30 per cent of our land and sea for nature’s recovery by 2030.
