Protects many of the county's most important wildlife sites
It’s celebrations all round for the Norfolk Wildlife Trust this weekend as the organisation marks its 90th birthday.
Norfolk Wildlife Trust was founded on 6 March 1926 by Dr Sydney Long who purchased over 400 acres of marshland at Cley.
The marshes had long been famous for birdlife and Dr Long agreed to create a trust and give the marshes to it to be preserved.
As well as long protecting the marshes at Cley, the Norfolk Wildlife Trust also protects many of the county’s most important wildlife sites, such as Holme Dunes, Hickling Broad and Ranworth Broad.
To celebrate their anniversary, the Trust will be going back to the roaring twenties on Sunday 6 March at Cley Marshes visitor centre.
Staff will be dressed in 1920s outfits, a gypsy jazz band will play in the centre and 90th anniversary archives will be on display.
A vintage-themed afternoon high-tea will also be available, with a tempting assortment of cakes, small scones and finger sandwiches.
Chief Executive of Norfolk Wildlife Trust, Brendan Joyce said: “We are proud of our role saving Norfolk’s wildlife over such a long time and are delighted to share the spectacle of Cley on 6th March with as many people as possible and hopefully bring a flavour of the 1920s back for everyone to enjoy.”
