“We have embarked on the creation of a small wetland wildlife paradise on the western bank of the River Frenze in Diss, and this formerly unused ground has now been commended by the Environment Agency as part of its celebration of World Wetlands Day.

Frenze Beck was previously ecologically poor and overgrazed grazing marsh, within the floodplain of the river Frenze. It had become increasingly dry with peat build up and the remains of slubbing out works being deposited on the riverbank, reducing the ability of the river to flood onto the land”.
