I visited Norfolk Wildlife Trust at Ranworth Broad today to meet CEO Eliot Lyne and Sarah Eglingon to talk of the plans for the future of the Trust and to discuss how wildlife conservation and farming can work in partnership for the benefit of Norfolk’s wildlife.
The visitor centre at Ranworth is the only floating visitor centre in the country and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1976. Today, visitors can catch a glimpse of the pair of ospreys who have made Ranworth their breeding ground for the second year running, a first in over 250 years in Norfolk.
Norfolk Wildlife Trust is the oldest wildlife trust in the country, managing some of Norfolk’s amazing nature sites. There are 37,000 members, 1,500 volunteers and 175 staff helping to manage and conserve 5,000 hectares of nature sites. Nature is critical to Norfolk’s future and underpins our farming and tourism economies.
