The Broads Landscape Partnership Scheme: Water, Mills and Marshes is a £4.5 million group of 38 projects to engage people with the built and natural landscapes of the Broads National Park. Thanks to a generous grant of £2.4 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, as well as contributions from our partners and other charitable trusts, the scheme began its 5 year delivery phase in January 2018 and is expected to finish in December 2022.
