Mills & Reeve

🌿 Achieving more for nature’s recovery: Creating a biodiverse haven for wildlife We’ve teamed up with client Albanwise Environment, a nature recovery and land management company, to embark on the first step in a nature conservation project. Firstly, the groundbreaking project aims to restore the Stoke Ferry Wetland in Norfolk, creating a rich habitat for rare birds and wildlife. Stoke Ferry, uniquely positioned in a strategically important river corridor, is a low-lying peatland area which is challenging for traditional farming and holds immense potential. The plan? To create a nature-rich landscape that benefits both people and the environment. Supported by environmental DNA (eDNA) specialists at NatureMetrics, we’re analysing soil samples to detect the species living in and around the area, and also comparing the site to local thriving wetland sites to provide an indication of what it might look like in 20-30 years time. Stay tuned for the results…🦉🌱 Click here to find out more: https://bit.ly/4cVkH95 #Biodiversity #NatureRestoration #AchieveMoreForNature #eDNA
