Felbeck Trust launch new conservation project - Upper Bure & Glaven Conservation Triangle

Connecting habitats, wildlife and communities

The premise and the plan

• Nature is in decline - no organisation alone can stop it
• ‘Coalition of the willing’ - wildlife bodies, land-owners / farmers, community groups
• Map existing sites for nature, overlayed with species at risk - what we’ve got and where
• Survey to see what changes to make and prioritise
• Boots on the ground - restoring & creating habitat and improving connectivity

What are we aiming to achieve

• Existing sites for nature are managed well for the more vulnerable species
• Connectivity is improved so nature can move more freely across out landscape
• New sites are created which provide more places for wildlife to feed, breed and recover
• Soil and water are improved through agriculture / cultivation, not diminished
• Over the net ten years biodiversity is stabilised and where possible we achieve a net gain
• We stop taking nature on our doorstep for granted and work better together to protect it for future generations
