river bend River valleys are a key landscape feature in Suffolk, home to some of our most iconic species, like water voles, otters, and kingfishers. They act as blue wildlife corridors, connecting different habitats and provide multiple ecosystem services. And yet, humans have abused rivers by changing the way they flow through the landscape or releasing waste into them. Suffolk Wildlife Trust is working to change this.
