This project addressed problems affecting two rare chalk rivers, such as sea-level rise, pollution and fragmented habitats, by restoring their natural course and flow.
The Rivers Hun and Stiffkey are two of only 210 rare chalk rivers worldwide, valued globally, and important to local communities.
The Norfolk’s Two Chalk Rivers project helped address challenges in these river catchments by restoring the natural course and flow, reducing pollution, phosphate and nitrate damage and reconnecting fragmented, disconnected habitats.
Connected by landscape and sharing an aquifer, these rivers have the potential for significant landscape-scale restoration to create, enhance and sustain rare, vibrant ecosystems.
This project was delivered in partnership with the Norfolk Rivers Trust. Visit the Norfolk Rivers Trust website to read more about its capital works.
