Hoveton Great Broad - Nature Trail Upgrade and Repair

The Hoveton Great Broad Restoration project aims to deliver the restoration of Hoveton Great Broad and Hudson's Bay. These Broads are situated within the Bure Valley, downstream of Wroxham/Hoveton, Norfolk. They form part of the Bure Broads and Marshes SSSI, which in turn is a component Site of Broadland SPA, The Broads SAC and Broadland Ramsar Site. They also form part of the Bure Marshes NNR. Lake restoration will be achieved through a combination of sediment removal and biomanipulation, restoring them to Favourable Condition / Good Ecological Status.

The project will also improve the existing access to and on the site, create new access through the adjacent Hoveton Marshes and host a number of activities and events for volunteers, local people, visitors and lake restoration specialists. Its aim is to enable more people to visit the site, become actively involved in its management and learn about the project and the importance of lake restoration.
