In 2015, Aldhurst Farm in Leiston was a 67-hectare arable field used to grow onions. Fast forward to today, and Aldhurst Farm is now Wild Aldhurst, a beautiful nature reserve combining grassland, heathland and wetland supporting a range of animals and plants.
We have now opened areas of Wild Aldhurst to the public to experience its rich biodiversity first-hand.
Come and visit us!
Once stretching along Suffolk’s coast, the Sandlings landscape has mostly disappeared over the last 100 years.
At Sizewell C, we’ve been working to bring it back. In this video, our Ecology Lead, Dr Steve Mannings, shares how we’re restoring habitats and supporting local wildlife. This is more than conservation; it’s a new model for how major infrastructure projects can actively improve the natural environment.
We would love to see the nature pictures you take on your next visit to Wild Aldhurst. Post them using the hashtag #WildAldhurst and tagging our Sizewell C account on your platform of choice.
