Norfolk Wildlife Trust - Tipping the Balance

Role: Camera, Director, Editor & Sound

NWT Ambassador, Professor Ben Garrod explores Norfolk Wildlife Trust's new pinoeering conservation project in the Norfolk Broads, to restore clear water with a technique known as biomanipulation. Norfolk Wildlife Trust received almost half a million pounds for the pioneering restoration project from the Biffa Awards Partnership Scheme. Norfolk Wildlife Trust, with partners including the Broads Authority, Natural England, the Environment Agency and ECON Ecological Consultancy, will install three new biomanipulation zones to restore water quality at Ranworth Broad and replace existing infrastructure at Barton Broad. Tipping the Balance builds on lessons learned from previous successful biomanipulation projects at Cockshoot Barton. Eight new tern nesting rafts will be installed on the Broads, thanks to funding from Essex & Suffolk Water Branch Out fund.
