Leading renewable energy company, Ørsted, is partnering with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust to launch Wilder Humber - an ambitious five-year programme to restore marine habitats and species throughout the Humber estuary, a large tidal estuary on the east coast of northern England, and one of the busiest and fastest-growing trade routes in Europe.
The iconic Humber estuary is also one of the most important natural features and conservation sites in the UK. Oysters are ecosystem engineers that work tirelessly to keep our seas healthy and clean filtering 200 litres of water per day! Their reefs create vital habitats for marine life, boost biodiversity, and support healthier, more resilient coastlines.
We need a team of volunteers to help us restore and enrich nearly 40 hectares of protected habitats and rebuild the Humber’s lost native oyster population to over half a million oysters.
