Fen Management

Crostwick Common, this is a new site for our volunteers and one that many of us had driven past on the North Walsham Road without realising its existence. Our brief from Matt for the site said that “we had been engaged by Norfolk Wildlife Trust to carry out some sensitive management work to maintain the unique wet fen habitat and that the work will involve brush cutting the brambles, grassland vegetation, sedge and the reed bed and then raking off the material to prevent the loss of an important habitat”.

Fenland, Woodland and Commons

Our volunteers have again been visiting the Fringes of Norwich employing their skills and expertise across different habitats over the past few weeks of September and October.
