Conservation Measures for Nutrient-Affected River Wensum

The Nature Restoration Fund (NRF) supports large-scale environmental restoration to address nutrient pollution affecting protected wildlife sites. This opportunity seeks a consultant to develop a high-level list of long-term, permanent conservation measures that would restore the River Wensum Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and protect its internationally important habitats and species from nutrient enrichment impacts. The consultant will work with Natural England, local authorities, and catchment partners to identify practical, landscape-scale solutions that improve ecological health and resilience. The output will inform and shape future nutrient mitigation, habitat restoration, and investment programmes across the catchment. Suppliers should have expertise in freshwater conservation, nutrient management, habitat restoration, and working with multi-stakeholder catchment partnerships.
