Breckland Farmers Wildlife Network

Farmers of the Brecks united to enhance the ecology and biodiversity of the British Breckland

[Breckland Farmers Wildlife Network @BrecksFarmersWN]

Brilliant to talk all things nature and farming with Kevin Cox and our hero @Robert_W_Hawkes. Always great to be able to fly the flag for arable species and the importance of farming and farmers in their conservation.

We can’t wait to see the book when it’s published.

Only Carl Sayer @carlsayerUCL and Hayley could lead such an inspiring farm walk about ponds without a drop of water in site.

Great to be reminded of how valuable even temporary ponds are for wildlife.

Brilliant example of right place and right establishment with this first year cultivated margin providing a turtle dove and arable plant paradise - well done @FrederickHiam

[Breckland Farmers Wildlife Network @BrecksFarmersWN]

We're very lucky to have had the support of an experienced and passionate local Natural England team from the early days of BFWN.

Trying something different is daunting, so it's great to hear that our #LandscapeRecovery project @BrecksNature is on the right track!

[Wilder Norfolk @wildernorfolk]

Breckland Landscape Recovery getting it ‘just right’. Ambitious, but achievable. Complex enough to hit objectives for nature, but straightforward enough to actually be delivered. Enthusiastic, but realistic leadership. It’s conservation Baby Bear’s porridge. Well done them 👏👏

Read why cultivated margins are so important and how we're using them to create a habitat corridor across the Brecks in @FarmersWeekly by @louisearable.

We're very lucky to have the support of brilliant experts @arableplants, @Love_plants Jo Jones & our own farmer John Secker.

[Louise Impey @louisearable]

Can farms deliver nature recovery and produce food? Absolutely they can! How @BrecksFarmersWN are working together to do just that, and more....

[Natural England @NaturalEngland]

The @BrecksFarmersWN is a great example of how food production and #LandscapeRecovery can go hand in hand.

Our Chair @TonyJuniper visited Norfolk last week to meet the farmers and Natural England advisers who are working together to restore nature.

[Breckland Farmers Wildlife Network @BrecksFarmersWN]

Brilliant to be able to share our vision for making a big impact on the often tiny (but v. important) species of the Brecks with @NaturalEngland @TonyJuniper yesterday. Nature recovery and food production will go hand in hand to deliver at scale in our #LandscapeRecovery project

[Tony Juniper @TonyJuniper]

Tiny plants (Annual Knawel), vast skies & inspiring doers making a difference for Nature at scale in one of England’s most distinctive landscapes. Great to meet visionary farmers from @BrecksFarmersWN to discuss future ambition & opportunities coming with Landscape Recovery pilot
