Great Fen Project, Nature reserve between Peterborough and Huntingdon, England
The Great Fen Project spans 1184 hectares of wetland ecosystem, connecting Woodwalton Fen and Holme Fen National Nature Reserves through restored fenland corridors.
The land transformation began in the 1850s when systematic drainage altered the natural fenland, leading to significant changes in ground levels visible at the Holme Post.
The Countryside Centre at Ramsey Heights functions as an educational hub where visitors learn about fenland ecosystems through guided programs and community activities.
The Wildlife Trust manages multiple access points throughout the reserve, with New Decoy Farm serving as the primary information center for visitors beginning their exploration.
The restoration project incorporates innovative wet farming techniques through the Water Works initiative, adapting agricultural practices to address climate change challenges.
