projects

Suffolk Biodiversity Partnership is involved in several projects. These are briefly described below; click on the link to go directly to the project.

Suffolk's Community Biodiversity Projects
Many community projects are making a significant contribution to wildlife conservation in Suffolk as well as benefitting people. We aim to inspire other communities to set up their own projects by demonstrating the huge achievements of 17 communities in the Suffolk Coastal area.

County Wildlife Sites (CWSs)
CWSs play a key role in the conservation of Suffolk's biodiversity. We have nearly 900 CWSs, all of which have high value for wildlife and are of county, regional or national importance. The proportion of local wildlife and geodiversity sites that are in postive conservation management are recorded under National Indicator 197.

Traditional orchard survey
In the early 1900s, Suffolk had more than 6,000 orchards. This 3-year project is recording how many of those remain and assessing their potential for restoration.

Roadside Nature Reserves (RNRs)
This project aims to conserve species-rich plant areas and plants of national or county importance alongside Suffolk's roads. Some RNRs have legal protection, whilst most others have County Wildlife Site status.

Marine mammal project
You can make a valuable contribute to our knowledge of marine mammals off the Suffolk coast. Just download our sightings form and fill it in with any details of dolphins, whales or porpoises that you see from the shore or out at sea.
