There’s some heartening news from Dunwich Heath, just weeks after a devastating wildfire destroyed around 370 acres of the precious Suffolk landscape.
According to Protect the Wild, wildlife is already being spotted returning to the heath. National Trust staff on the ground have reported seeing muntjac deer, rabbits, butterflies, birds and some reptiles.
The scale of the damage remains significant, and the recovery of the heathland is expected to take time. However, the return of wildlife provides an encouraging early sign of hope for the much-loved Suffolk coast landscape.
Visitors to the Suffolk Coast are being reminded to follow access guidance and keep away from the Dunwich Heath area, which remains closed.
