In early 2024, Norfolk FWAG and Norwich City Council were commissioned by Broadland District Council to undertake a feasibility study in the area marked on the map below. The feasibility study, known as Nature North of Norwich (NNoN), will look at a farming and community led approach to nature recovery. As part of this project Norfolk FWAG will be exploring the possibility of creating a farming cluster in the project area.
This feasibility study will look into the appetite from local farmers and landowners of establishing a cluster group, and the priorities that should be considered. Examples of cluster group priorities have included biodiversity, woodland planting, and even net zero (including our Northern Broads group). This study includes a workshop where farmers and landowners can come together to share their thoughts and considerations. Sign up here: https://nature-north-of-norwich.eventbrite.co.uk
The research will also link into landscape mapping and habitat connectivity, conducted by Norwich City Council. Their work will also be looking at understanding how a community led approach to nature recovery could work, as well as opportunities for nature recovery.
The culmination of this work; the identification of farming and nature priorities for a potential future cluster group, as well as community-led engagement and priorities, and how the two can interact with one another.

During the winter of 2023-2024, Norfolk FWAG team members, Evan Burdett and Henry Walker, worked with Norfolk County Council to identify ponds eligible for restoration and opportunities for pond creation to reverse terrestrialisation.
Our team set out with the goal of creating a detailed report that would provide an understanding of this situation, which would then assist in targeting environmental stewardship options and other initiatives.
In celebration of Earth Day, a spirited group of volunteers from Crisp Malt joined forces with representatives from Norfolk FWAG — Henry Walker and Bea White — along with farmer, Nick Anema, for a day of tree guard removal.
As the Norfolk delivery partner for the DEFRA Future Farming Resilience Fund-funded Royal Countryside Fund run, and Farm for the Future programme, Norfolk FWAG’s Sasha Wells and Bea White are providing essential support to farmers.
