An ambitious nature partnership has united 67 farmers and landowners with the common goal of reconnecting vital habitats across north Norfolk’s coastal landscape.

The “North Norfolk: Wilder, Wetter, Better for Nature” project is a pilot for the government’s “landscape recovery” scheme - the top tier of the new environmental incentives being developed to replace EU subsidies.

Farmers and land managers gathered at Binham Village Hall, near Fakenham, for a progress report from key partners at the Norfolk Coast Partnership, Norfolk Rivers Trust and the Holkham Estate.
