“Hoveton Great Broad was once a clear plant-rich lake but for many years it’s been in a mucky, brown, lifeless state due to poor-quality polluted water entering it from the River Bure. Without clear water, plants cannot thrive and without the plants, the lake cannot support the wonderful variety of fish, birds and insects that it once did.

Over the last 30 years, thanks to better sewage treatment and improvements in farming practices, river water quality has greatly improved and the time is now right to restore the broad to its former glory”.
