We are delighted to welcome two new volunteers to the team – Laura Barrett and Zac Rosamond. Both Laura and Zac are passionate about the Broads and have already started to engage with our Business Supporters with great success.
Great to have you both aboard!
What a lovely afternoon Members enjoyed at Salhouse Broad on Saturday 18th May.
Kelly, the Ranger, gave a guided tour of the Broad and we heard all about the Broads Discovery Hub from Dave Ansell, the Project Manager. This was followed by amazing tea and cake, courtesy of The Hungry Otter. All of this rounded off with a canoe/kayak paddle for those that wished it.
Our grateful thanks to all involved and to our Members for joining us. Oh, and the weather was perfect!
We are delighted to showcase one of the smallest, oldest and most generous business supporters. Maycraft is a small family business run by Harry May and James May, based at Potter Heigham. They offer a range of services including boat hire and boat maintenance and repairs. Despite being flooded over the past few months they continue to support our important work. In total, they have donated £3,000 to the Broads Trust and we are very grateful. Thank you Maycraft.
We are delighted that we shall be holding our next Member-only annual event at the stunning Salhouse Broad this year. Our grateful thanks to the Salhouse Estate.
Members will have the opportunity to have a guided tour of the Broad by the Ranger and learn of its unique history and biodiversity and see the projects which have received a grant from the Broads Trust/Love the Broads. These will include the exciting Night Skies platform and the Broads Discovery Hub.
After the tour there will be refreshments at the amazing Hungry Otter which has raised so much funding for our work.
And if that’s not enough, Members can take a canoe or kayak trip around the Broad.
Funds raised from our Membership scheme go directly to help to keep the Broads National Park remain special.
This annual Member event is just one of the benefits of being a Member of Love the Broads from just £20 a year. For a Membership form contact lynne@lovethebroads.org.uk.
Hope to see you at Salhouse Broad on Saturday 18th May.
Annual Membership also makes a unique gift for a loved one too!
We are sending our full support to our Business Partners that have been affected by the recent severe flooding across the Broads National Park. We hope that you are back to normal business very soon.

Keep smiling!

What is sustainable tourism?
Sustainable tourism is all about making the lowest possible impact on the environment and local culture while helping to generate income and employment. It is responsible tourism that is both ecologically and culturally sensitive. It is about caring for the places we love to visit and protecting them for future generations. There is no point in having a beautiful landscape if it is spoilt by insensitive tourism. Love the Broads seeks to promote the protection and understanding of our wetland area’s wildlife, landscape, heritage and tourism which are all interlinked.
