Pond creation and restoration – funding and advice
Norfolk Wildlife Trust Advisers can provide advice on the management and restoration of ponds on your land and help you to find ways to fund this wildlife-friendly work. Following a free site visit, our Advisors will be able to confirm if your pond restoration work is eligible for funding via Natural England’s District Level Licensing scheme. We can then organise and oversee all pond restoration work at no cost to the landowner.
Reed warbler
Listen out for the 'chattering' song of the reed warbler, while wandering the UK's lowland wetlands in summer. A small, brown bird, they are quite hard to see.
