Reed Grove, The Story of a Nature Reserve
Rare natural sights and sounds in this film about the balance of wildlife and water management at Redgrave and Lopham Fen nature reserve on the Suffolk/Norfolk border.
From the collection of:

Overview
A mix of natural and manmade landscape has created a precious watery nature reserve - but what will be its future? David Orr's detailed film shows how centuries of peat digging and reed harvesting created an oasis for birds, flowers, small animals, amphibians and insects rarely found in the surrounding farmland, including the rare great raft spider unique to the site. Much depends on complex water control, manual work by volunteers and protection from external risks.
David Orr's amateur film was highly commended in competition and includes remarkable scenes of the great raft spider under water and beautiful flowers and plants in the various habitats provided by the reserve. The Redgrave and Lopham Fen National Nature Reserve is one of the most important wetlands in Europe. It is run by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust and the film shows the extent of the responsibility and work of the trust in maintaining the habitat through active interventions. The film title 'Reed Grove' derives from the name origin of the nearby village of Redgrave.
