Filby Village has been under considerable pressure for development over the last few years, this will have an impact not only on the biodiversity of the village but also on the nearby Trinity Broads.

 

As a result of Norfolk Wildlife Trust's village habitat survey in 2014, it has been an aspiration amongst some of the residents to establish an organisation to acquire land where possible that can mitigate this development and increase the biodiversity of the area. Filby Lands and Conservation Trust has been set up to achieve that.
