The Ryburgh Wildlife Group (RWG) is a group of like-minded people that exists to secure and improve wildlife and the natural environment in the parish for the benefit of everyone in the community. The Group is a charity (Reg No: 1074989) and was established in 1998 in 1998 when, through the generosity of the Sennowe Estate, it had the opportunity to establish a small nature reserve on pastures and wetland adjoining the river Wensum just outside the village of Great Ryburgh. The establishment of the scrape and hide attracts wildlife and allows viewing of some of the many species of the region.
Since 1988 much has changed in the natural world, not all of it good. We are now in the midst of an ecological emergency. Wildlife is declining across the world, including in the UK and sadly Great Ryburgh is not immune. Similarly, there is a climate emergency. The earth is warming and climate change is causing problems for wildlife and humans alike.
The RWG has changed too. The membership has increased (more members are always welcome) and the RWG has started several exciting initiatives. It has also started to build relationships with other like-minded groups in the local area and the local parish council.
If you would like to join the RWG and get involved in any of its work, more pairs of hands, as well as brains, are always most welcome.
