largest planned nature conservation restoration scheme following mineral extraction in Europe.
When complete, it will include the UK’s largest reedbed, covering 460 hectares (that’s 644
football pitches of land well managed for nature!) Recreating some of the lost wetland habitat
that once dominated the entire fenland landscape and creating wildlife successes for species
such as bitterns and bearded tits.
Our pioneering partnership with Morgan Sindall, enabled us to acquire additional farmland at
our Lakenheath Fen reserve, enabling large- scale restoration to wetland, extending habitat for
threatened species such as bittern, and locking in 1,782 tonnes of CO2 annually (equivalent to
660 UK homes!)
