A luxury garden building company is helping restore one of Norfolk’s precious chalk streams.
Crane Garden Buildings is supporting the conservation of the River Bure through a partnership with the National Trust, funding work through sales of its National Trust-branded products, including the Blickling and Felbrigg sheds.
Peter Mortin, business development manager at Crane Garden Buildings, said: “We’re proud to see the proceeds from our National Trust range making a tangible difference in our own backyard.
“This collaboration represents more than just a donation – it’s a shared commitment to preserving Norfolk’s natural heritage for future generations.”

Restoration work, delivered in partnership with the Environment Agency and Norfolk Rivers Trust, includes re-naturalising river flow, improving habitat connectivity, creating new wetlands, and restoring ponds.
James Manners, project manager for the Riverlands programme, said: “These carefully planned interventions are already transforming the river and its habitats.
“Thanks to Crane Garden Buildings’ continued funding – over £227,000 pledged between 2025 and 2029 – we can take long-term steps to ensure this special landscape thrives.”
