The How Hill Trust
The How Hill Trust charity was formed in 1984, taking over the running of the How Hill environmental education centre from the county council.
Our mission is to help people of all ages enjoy and understand the nature and heritage of the Broads by using the house and its setting as an inspirational venue for day and residential courses.
Our work
The children who come here explore our woods and marshes, find out about the reed harvest, visit the windmill and have a trip on the river. They try their hand at thatching and an assortment of other activities and crafts. Above all, they gain an insight into the fragile world of the Broads and are left with memories of having fun with nature which we hope will spark a lifelong respect for wildlife and the environment.
We also host events that generate funds to fuel our charity aims at our special location overlooking river, broad, marsh and woodland at the heart of the Norfolk Broads National Park.
