The 2024 Norfolk Superhero Challenge is supporting Burnham Overy Harbour Trust which maintains and cares for the creek and ensures that the unique biodiversity and beauty of the creeks and saltmarshes are preserved for the benefit and well-being of all its users and abundant wildlife. Specifically, we are raising funds for the the once in a generation restoration of the groynes which are crucial in preventing the creek from silting up, as well as taking important measures to reduce erosion of the marshes.

By combining our hard fundraising work with the Burnham Overy Staithe community’s efforts, we will be fast-tracking a major restoration project which may otherwise take many years to complete. Importantly, we wholeheartedly believe that the work will secure this fragile and incredibly important landscape for the next generation: Burnham Overy Staithe’s saltmarshes and creeks are a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to their unique biodiversity, range of ecosystems and large number of habitat specific plants, some of which are extremely rare. The marshes are one of the key sites for wintering birds such as numerous species of geese including thousands of Pinkfoot, Curlew, Teal and Wigeon. It is also a sanctuary for many species of birds that breed in the area such as Lapwing, Oystercatcher, Spoonbill, Redshank, Common Ringed Plover as well as both Great and Little Egret.
