From Eastern Daily Press: “The Norfolk Rivers Internal Drainage Board (IDB) has started the second phase of the Upper Wensum River Restoration Project, which will see 2km of the internationally-protected chalk stream habitat restored through the Raynham Estate near Fakenham. It involves installing berms, pools and riffles to reinvigorate natural processes and drive ecological recovery on the waterway, which has a raft of environmental designations including Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC). But it has also included the excavation and re-connection of a dry, redundant meander, known as a paleochannel, which was identified near the headwaters of the river, between the villages of East and West Raynham.”
