Wins for wildlife!

Breckland heath 

NWT Thompson Common in the Brecks is one of the best places in Europe for beetles, with more than 600 species recorded. It is one of only two sites in the UK where you can find the northern pool frog. But for many years, the site’s biodiversity has been threatened by excess nutrients seeping out of a neighbouring pig farm. Recently, we were able to buy the land and begin restoring it back to Breck grass heathland.  

With funding from Biffa Award, enabled by the 250 Club, we hope to reinstate lost “ghost” pingos (ancient ponds) and clear scrub to improve the connection between the new land and the existing reserve.

Dereham wetlands 

These vital funds have helped the restoration of two Norfolk Wildlife Trust valley sites – Rushmeadows and Scarning Fen, which are 2 kilometres apart along a small tributary of the Wensum called Wendling Beck, or locally, Dereham Stream.  

They are both Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and form part of a valuable ecological corridor through the landscape. Donations from the 250 Club – and those subsequently unlocked from WREN via Landfill Communities Fund – helped us clear scrub from the open meadow habitat, clear ditches, and install water control sluices. The recovery of Rushmeadows has been so successful that we have recently been able to reintroduce British white cattle to graze the fen.
