What do all these have in common? 🐸
We are planning on restoring them to their full potential this year for the benefit of water quality, habitat enhancement and biodiversity! 🫧

A fascinating and inspirational evening having the privilege to watch the Six Inches of Soil film. 📽️

Wensum Farmers left full of ideas for the future with the understanding that everything comes back to the health of our soils!

A hybrid of hedgelaying & coppicing - mechanical laying involves part cutting of the stem with the digger doing the heavy work to push the brash over.

The new shoots are then protected from deer & hare & the hedge still blossoms with flowers & fruit in Spring.

Crisp & cold mornings scoping out Wensum Farmers Group hedges ready for rejuvenating in February. 🌳

We have had great results from our mechanical laying technique - a modern take on traditional conservation laying, to boost base growth, fruiting & hedge longevity.

We just LOVE a before & after photo...
Overgrown & poached by cattle, this precious site on a unique Norfolk common has become a freshwater oasis within 1 year! All of these amazing plants (Stoneworts, BLPW & more) are from the precious pond seed bank.

🫧 Even the rain can't stop us from learning about ponds!

Self-assessment training sessions filled with enthusiasm and laughter have taken place during July; the Great British 'summertime'!
