"The #GreatFen scheme in #Cambridgeshire will attract rare #wildlife and play a vital role in restoring the UK equivalent of the #rainforest β and it has just taken a great step forward... Mosaics of #pools, #streams and #WaterMeadows will take over fields... Part of the project will be to trial new #farming systems that will not lead to #peat loss and associated rises in #carbon #emissions."
PhilIf you do one good thing this weekend, make it chipping in to the #WildlifeTrust #GreatFen appeal at https://www.wildlifebcn.org/landmarkappeal
Success will unlock ten times as much money as theyβve fundraised, to enable steps towards landscape scale nature recovery, while stopping and reversing the release of stored carbon from drained land and providing increased flood resilience for surrounding areas.

Great Fen Landmark Appeal | Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs & Northants
Over the last 20 years our supporters have helped transform farmland right across the vast 14 square mile landscape of the Great Fen, restoring it into healthy wet fenland that once covered much of East Anglia. As one of the largest peatland restoration projects in Europe, our aim is to give this unique landscape a sustainable future. Today, you can help us take the next vital step.
