A Living Landscape for the Suffolk Broads - Oulton Marshes

The project addresses the fragmentation of wetland habitats by acquiring, restoring and reconnecting the mosaic of wetland habitats at Oulton Marshes to create a permeable landscape through which species can move and respond to change. We will achieve this by: Phased acquisition of 53ha of degraded grazing marsh at Oulton Marshes. Hatitat restoration - installation of grazing infrastructure, restoration of dykes and reintroduction of grazing. Reconnection of Outon Marshes, Carlton Marshes and Camps Heath into a 135ha wetland. Designation of the Oulton - Carlton - Camps Heath complex as SSSI. Grazing marsh is a BAP habitat and in Suffolk around 2,000ha is designated as SSSI and Country Wildlife Site (CWS).
