Dernford Fen, Natural wetland reserve in Sawston, Great Britain.
Dernford Fen encompasses 10.3 hectares of diverse habitats including rough fen, carr, dry grassland, scrub, ditches, and a chalk stream in Cambridgeshire.
The fen received official designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1983, marking its recognition for environmental protection and scientific research.
The site functions as an educational resource for ecological studies, providing scientists with opportunities to examine wetland ecosystems and their associated species.
The location remains closed to public access, which helps maintain the integrity of its sensitive ecological systems and protects the resident wildlife populations.
The chalk stream within Dernford Fen creates specific conditions that support specialized aquatic life forms adapted to its mineral-rich groundwater environment.
