 | | The region popularly known as the Norfolk Broads, or Broadland, is a landscape of slow-moving rivers, fens, marshes and waterlogged woodland located to the east of Norwich. |
 | | Conservation organisations such as English Nature, the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, RSPB and Broads Authority are now making strenuous efforts to restore selected fens to the 'open' state they were in until the 1920s - that is, without trees and bushes. |
 | | Unfortunately, this wildlife interest is almost completely destroyed when water levels in the dykes are lowered prior to the marshland being put under the plough. |
