Culture of the Countryside: Flint (short version)
During 2009, the Culture of the Countryside team had worked with schools in Breckland. They focused upon the identity of the area and talked about the cultural history of flint and chalk. This work formed the basis for a wider project with the Breckland community. They have worked with a local flint knapper to develop ideas that led to the creation of a film and the composition of musical pieces.

Thetford forest - Brandon
Thetford Forest was created after the First World War to provide a strategic reserve of timber, since the country had lost so many oaks and other slow-growing trees as a consequence of the war's demands. It is managed by the Forestry Commission. The creation of the forest destroyed much of the typical Breckland environment of gorse and sandy ridges, ending the frequent sand blows (where the wind picked up sand and blew it across the land reducing visibility). However, this environment was itself man-made, since the area had been denuded by flint-mining, the construction of rabbit warrens and other activities. Grimes Graves is located within the forest.

Nature minute: stone curlew
While BBC Springwatch allows us a fascinating glimpse into the intimate details of the lives of breeding British wildlife for three weeks this spring, here at the RPSB a small group of volunteers has helped to produce their own series of films introducing some of the characters you might see on you TV, the places they live, the struggles they face and how they are being overcome.
Stone curlews are a strange looking bird by any standards. Their large bright yellow eyes and cryptic camouflage make them look somehow primitive. Not too long ago they also came very close to becoming extinct as a breeding bird in the UK. Decades of habitat loss reduced their numbers to a hundred pairs in the whole country.
In the East of England, stone curlews held on in their stronghold of the Brecks, and intensive intervention by the RSPB and other conservation organisations, working together with local landowners and farmers, has helped the population there to treble in 30 years.
Help keep rare wildlife like stone curlews and the places they live safe for future generations:
