 Norfolk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norfolk (pronounced NOR-f'k) is a low-lying county in East Anglia in the east of southern England.

The regional capital of Norfolk is the city of Norwich.

Norfolk's unique position on the east of England means it is one of the most prolific locations for birdlife in the country.
This curious looking bird is notoriously fussy and the Norfolk Wildlife trust uses sheep and rabbits to maintain the heaths which ensure it thrives here.
The Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s reserve at Holme Dunes is one of the north Norfolk coast's most attractive landscapes and the combination of mudflats, sand dunes, saltmarsh and reedbeds have an air of mysticism.

The National Trust had been around for a while but the RSPB had only just come into being and there were only two or three designated bird reserves in the whole country.
Even though other counties took a while to catch on, (the next trust - Yorkshire's - wasn't formed for another 25 years and most of the rest were created in the '50s and '60s) there are 46 wildlife trusts in the UK today, between them managing nearly 2,500 nature reserves.
The Trust does use a 'flying flock', a collection of shetland, fl welsh mountain, hebridean and herdwick ewes, which graze closely and keep the marshes free of invasive species but it still spends at least £1million a year on the restoration of nature reserves.

 Wildlife 2000
During its 125th anniversary celebrations, in 1993 the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists' Society announced its intention to document the wildlife of Norfolk for the start of the new millennium in a project called Wildlife 2000.
Wildlife 2000 is a project designed to ensure that twenty first century naturalists will have the answers to the equivalent questions they might ask about our own flora and fauna, as they approach the end of their own century.
By documenting the wildlife heritage which we pass into the care of the twenty first century, those who come after us may be in a better position to preserve and protect that legacy.

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.
