Cherished Land - Wood Green Common
Helen Baczkowska (NWT) • Jul 30, 2022
Helen Baczkowska from Norfolk Wildlife Trust and is a leading voice nationally when it comes to the subject of common land.
There's not much Helen doesn't know about the subject, having lived next to, and been responsible for, Wood Green Common on the edge of Long Stratton for much of her life.
It's amazing to think that much of Norfolk at one point would have been common land.
The ones we have left remain incredible havens for all kinds of wildlife, as she explains here to WildEast's Laura Hampton.

Broad bushy hedges, or WildEdges , can become substantial ecological assets whilst increasing crop productivity for the farmer. WildEast estimate that 5% (62,500 hectares) of the 20% of wildlife habitat required, could come from WildEdges. Working together, WildEast and Land App will equip farmers with the toolkit that they need to transform their farmland hedges into rich wildlife habitat. 80% of the WildEast footprint is agricultural land. WildEast and LandApp aim to enable landowners to broaden hedges to increase space for wildlife. If you're having difficulty viewing the below Wild Story, please head here.
