Supporting a thriving, resilient and biodiverse Broads landscape
Protecting a fragile and extraordinary ecosystem
The Broads is one of the UK’s most important and sensitive wetland environments.
Its rivers, broads, marshes, woodlands and meadows support an incredible variety of wildlife — from rare birds and plants to insects, mammals and aquatic species.
But it is a landscape under pressure.
Habitat loss, water quality, climate change and increasing visitor numbers mean it needs active care and championing.
Our work plays a vital role in supporting a healthy, resilient natural environment.
Supporting biodiversity and habitat health
We help protect and enhance the Broads by contributing to work that focuses on:
✓ Improving water quality
✓ Restoring habitats and supporting species recovery
✓ Tackling invasive species
✓ Promoting pollinator-friendly environments
✓ Protecting reedbeds, marshes and riverbanks
✓ Championing climate resilience and sustainable land management
We work with partners, volunteers and local communities to ensure the Broads remains a haven for wildlife long into the future.
Engaging people in caring for nature
The more people understand the landscape, the more they protect it.
Through programmes such as Broads Guardians, we support:
✓ Citizen science
✓ Conservation and recreation volunteering
✓ Community nature initiatives
✓ Public education and awareness campaigns
✓ Projects that inspire people to get involved
Nature thrives when people feel connected to it.
