Breckland Farmers Wildlife Network
@brecksfarmerswn.bsky.social
We are a farmer-led group collaborating to create a landscape scale wildlife network in the Norfolk & Suffolk Brecks. We have 60 members and cover over 50,000ha.
Brilliant to talk all things nature and farming with Kevin Cox and our hero Rob Hawkes. Always great to be able to fly the flag for arable species and the importance of farming and farmers in their conservation.

We can’t wait to see the book when it’s published.

Only Carl Sayer @carlsayer.bsky.social and Hayley could lead such an inspiring farm walk about ponds without a drop of water in site.

Great to be reminded of how valuable even temporary ponds are for wildlife.

Brilliant example of right place and right establishment with this first year cultivated margin on one of our member farms.

A turtle dove and arable plant paradise!

We're very lucky in the Brecks to have had the support of such an experienced and passionate local Natural England team from the early days of BFWN.

Trying something different is daunting, so it's great to hear that our #LandscapeRecovery project @brecksnature.bsky.social is on the right track!
Breckland Landscape Recovery getting it just right. Ambitious, but achievable. Complex enough to hit objectives for nature, but straightforward enough to actually be delivered. Enthusiastic, but realistic leadership. It’s conservation Baby Bear’s porridge. Well done them 👏👏
