Wild Wood

In the last few weeks, we have had meetings to design the initial programme of improvements that we are going to make to the 500-acre Ken Hill Wood, that sits in the centre of Wild Ken Hill. We need to make these improvements so that it can flourish once we step back and let it grow wild.

Wet & Wild

Wild Ken Hill takes in about 500 acres of freshwater marshes, adjacent to The Wash The marshes are beautiful, already quite wild, and well-used by wetland species in particular birds.

Guest blog: Research at Wild Ken Hill

For the last twenty years I have worked for nature conservation charities setting up and implementing bespoke monitoring strategies that gauge change over time and inform the management of nature reserves.

A fresh start

Our project is called Wild Ken Hill, after the forested hill in the centre of this area.
