RSPB买下第200块保护地(19-12-2006) 19-12-2006

Sutton Fen in the Norfolk Broads countryside is one of the finest examples of an unpolluted valley fen in Western Europe and one of the most important nature conservation sites in the UK, home to a stunning array of birds, insects and plants.

Common Cranes Grus grus are known to have bred nearby and the RSPB hopes they can be encouraged to use the site in the future. The fen is also a haven for plants once found all across the Broads but now restricted to this one site.

“Sadly, such sites are becoming increasingly rare, so it is wonderful to have the opportunity to look after what is nothing less than a national treasure.”

Further work being undertaken by the RSPB includes the creation of a huge new wetland along the Ribble estuary in Lancashire. Work will begin in March to re-flood 170 hectares of farmland at Hesketh Out Marsh, which was reclaimed from the sea 25 years ago.

The land has been bought thanks to funding from Environment Agency and the Northwest Regional Development Agency through the Lancashire Rural Recovery Action Plan.

The RSPB is working with the Teesside Environmental Trust to transform the former industrial site into a new kind of nature reserve which is expected to attract 100,000 visitors expected every year, and become one of the largest tourist attractions in the region, offering people the chance to get close to nature.

An iconic ‘Wild Bird Discovery Centre’ will be at the heart of the site, providing a family-friendly experience of wildlife, and facilities for recreation, education and local community activities.
