The Broads is more than a beautiful place — it’s a living landscape shaped by people, wildlife and centuries of history. Since our founding in 1956, the Broads Society has worked to protect its character, share its stories and support the communities who care for it.
Whether you live here, visit regularly, or simply treasure this remarkable wetland, you’re invited to be part of its future.
We protect the environment, celebrate the region’s heritage and opportunities for recreation, and connect communities with the Broads in meaningful, sustainable ways.
