Summary
- Suffolk Wildlife Trust's bird hides vandalized over 2 months
- Incidents spike during holiday periods
- Antisocial behavior an ongoing issue for the trust
In the past couple of months, the Suffolk Wildlife Trust has faced a series of vandalism attacks on its bird hides at the Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve near Lowestoft. According to the trust's engagement and visitor operations manager, Hugh Braywood, four of the hides have been targeted during this period.
This type of antisocial behavior is an ongoing issue for the trust, with Braywood noting that they "experience it every year" and see spikes in incidents during holiday periods. The local police have been made aware of the situation, and the rural crime team is currently investigating the matter.
Despite these repeated attacks, the Suffolk Wildlife Trust remains committed to providing visitors with the best possible experience at the Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve. The trust continues to work closely with the authorities to address the vandalism and ensure the safety and enjoyment of all who visit the reserve.
