Redgrave and Lopham Fen - Suffolk Wildlife Trust

Redgrave and Lopham Fen - Suffolk Wildlife Trust Redgrave & Lopham Fen National Nature Reserve is the largest remaining river valley fen in England and the source of the River Waveney.

As one of the most important wetlands in Europe, Redgrave and Lopham Fen now has international protection. As well as open fen, the reserve includes a mixture of wet heathland, open water, scrub and woodland. The underlying acid and alkaline geology has resulted in characteristic wildlife including many species now rare in Britain. Our House Rules
We love to hear from Suffolk Wildlife Trust member

s and supporters, to see your photos and hear your ideas and suggestions. All we ask is that users are respectful of others and keep their posts polite, civil and suitable for all ages. We do not tolerate any content that is offensive or abusive including material that is obscene, violent, aggressive, argumentative, harassing, defamatory, unlawful, insulting, indecent or otherwise objectionable. This includes any language that can be construed as offensive, sexist, racist or homophobic. Please note that we retain the right to hide or remove any comments that we consider inappropriate. This extends to spamming and any material judged to be off-topic in subject-specific areas. We retain the right to block individuals who ignore this policy and post inappropriate content on our page. Moderation
In general, we don’t moderate posts on our page or groups – except when offensive language is used or libellous allegations are made. We have a duty to protect our staff and volunteers, so while deleting comments is a last resort and very unusual, our position is that any post containing libellous accusations should be removed. If an individual posts content contrary to our House Rules (see above) then we reserve the right to block that person from the page.

If you’d like to get out of the classroom with your students and have them engaged in learning outdoors this autumn, do get in touch, as we still have a few of our FREE visits funded by Natural England, to the Fen remaining!

If you fancy being ultra prepared for spring-summer 2026, you can also reserve a date for your visit next year now!
