WENDLING BECK

The Wendling Beck Environment Project (WBEP) is a pioneering habitat creation, nature restoration and regenerative farming project, spanning almost 2,000 acres of land North of the market town of Dereham in Norfolk, UK... The project is a collaboration between private landowners, local authorities, environmental NGOs, and Anglian Water. It aims to transform land use for environmental benefit, whilst also building community and environmental resilience... WBEP represents a ground-breaking approach to conservation and land management in England, which will be financed by the sale of ecosystem services including biodiversity net gain (BNG), nutrient neutrality and natural flood management, along with regenerative farming. Developers have the advantage of dealing directly with the landowners.
