Ken Hill is a project to return 1,500 acres of Norfolk land back to nature letting it become wild. The grazing marshes already attract many birds.

Beschrijving

The Wild Ken Hill rewilding project has ambition to move away from existing agricultural and forestry techniques and allow wild nature to thrive. They are actively managing an area of grazed wetland next to the Wash to support wildlife, and have raised the water level by around a foot across 500 acres to help birds such as Tureluur, Kievit, Wulp and Lepelaar. The wider area has diverse habitats that are developing like mixed woodland, wood pasture, grassland and meadow and heathlands and shrub. But especially the grazing marshes already attract many birds. Among the birds you can see here are Bergeend, Zomertortel, Scholekster, Grutto, Watersnip and Bruine Kiekendief. During migration also many species of waders and waterbirds make a stop here.

The project has divided into three main approaches — a rewilding area, where beavers and grazers are being introduced, a traditional conservation approach for their coastal areas, and regenerative farming to continue to provide food in a sustainable and biodiverse way.
