CLA East: 2024 Norfolk Branch Summer Visit and AGM

This event is now fully booked.  Please contact the East Office 01638 590429

The Wendling Beck Project is a pioneering habitat creation, nature restoration and regenerative farming project, spanning almost 2,000 acres of land north of Dereham in Norfolk. 

The project is a collaboration between private landowners, local authorities, environmental NGOs, and Anglian Water. It aims to transform land use for environmental gain, whilst also building long-term business resilience and providing community benefit. 

During this walking tour you will hear about a range of habitats that are already in transition. This includes heathland restoration, parkland creation, species-rich lowland meadow, lowland fen restoration, wet woodland and rare chalk stream creation. New fencing and infrastructure has been installed to enable livestock to manage the habitats. 

The Wendling Beck Project represents a ground-breaking approach to conservation and land management in England, which will be financed by the sale of ecosystem services including biodiversity net gain (BNG), nutrient neutrality and natural flood management, along with regenerative farming. Developers have the advantage of dealing directly with the landowners.

 Your visit to this project will start and finish at the Gressenhall Workhouse Museum and there is an optional visit to the museum after lunch.

 This visit is by kind permission of the Wendling Beck Project.
