Rothschild though that recommending four of the Norfolk Broads (Horning, Barton, Hickling and Upton broads) for preservation was 'a capital idea'. The Broads are now a National Park, managed by the Broads Authority with other conservation organisations also managing individual sites. The Norfolk Wildlife Trust manages Hickling and Upton Broads. Upton Broad, home to swallowtail butterflies and Norfolk hawker dragonflies, is part of the wider Bure Valley Living Landscape where river and wetland habitats are being restored and recreated. At Hickling Broad a similar large-scale wetland restoration Living Landscape scheme is underway.
