Happy 90th birthday to the UK's oldest wildlife trust

The country's oldest wildlife trust is celebrating its 90th birthday this weekend.

Norfolk Wildlife Trust began on March 26 1926 when a group of 12 men bought 435 acres of marsh at Cley.

The area had long been famous for its birdlife and the group, led by Dr Sydney Long, pledge to create the trust - called the Norfolk Naturalists Trust - and preserve it "in perpetuity as a bird-breeding sanctuary".

It became the foundation of the wildlife trust movement and was the first of the 47 county trusts that exist in the UK today.

The Norfolk Wildlife Trust now cares for more than 50 nature reserves in the county including wetland, heathland, woodland and coastal habitats which are home to species including otter, water vole, bitten, marsh harrier and the common crane.

It has more than 35,000 members and educates more than 5,000 young people on school and university trips each year.

This Sunday, to mark the anniversary, Cley Marshes will be travelling back to the 1920s. Staff will be dressed up, a jazz band will perform, and visitors will be able to visit the reserve for just 9p - the price it was in 1926.
