Great Fen Countryside Centre, Chapel Road, Ramsey Heights PE26 2RS Join us on this exciting wildlife tour of the Great Fen, a unique area that was part of the last wilderness in lowland England. Take in the big skies and the diverse wildlife and habitats of this unique, but often overlooked, landscape as it is rejuvenated and restored. Learn more about its natural history while in search of some of the iconic wildlife that can be found amongst its reedbeds, lakes, water channels, and wildflower meadows. The tour will be led by Henry Stanier, Monitoring & Research Officer for the Wildlife Trust at the Great Fen. On this one-day summer safari you will witness the wealth of wildlife gradually returning to an area nearly 5km wide and 11km long, from cuckoos to birds of prey, to water deer and great crested newts, and from butterflies and dragonflies, to a variety of special wetland plants. Take a look at the amazing moths you can find here from our moth traps. Transport is provided between sites. Henry will guide you for a full day, on a series of walks, to help you explore and understand the extensive land under conservation restoration, such as Rymes Reedbed and Middle Farm, and also the two National Nature Reserves of Woodwalton Fen and Holme Fen. You will visit land not open to the public and discover the past, present and future of wildlife conservation in the Fens; from Charles Rothschild in the early 20th century to the amazing restoration works and linking the land up thanks to the Peatland Progress!...
