Henry Stanier, who gave a talk about the Great Fen in February, tells us that the Wildlife Trust has arranged a rather special, in-depth all-day tour of the Great Fen on Saturday 14th June.
It showcases the work of the Great Fen Partnership (management & monitoring) and highlights the legacy of the conservation vision of Charles Rothschild. We investigate a range of habitats, and we get close to the wildlife (e.g. bird ringing, moth trapping, great crested newts, dragonflies, wildflowers, plus more birds and mammals)! It also raises funds for our work at the Trust.
You will visit land not open to the public and discover the past, present and future of wildlife conservation in the Fens. We will also view the next phase of the ‘Peatland Progress’ project, as we link the north and south of the Great Fen together and see the results of restoration taking place!
If you would enjoy going on this ‘safari’ at the Great Fen more details of times and costs are on the Trust website: https://www.wildlifebcn.org/events/2025-06-14-great-fen-ecotour
