Hear Fenscapers Rachel, Phil and Neal taking about our work & 5,000 years' worth of environmental archaeology in the Fens! Great to be invited by Fens East Peat Partnership to give a webinar last month - now on YouTube, along with many other great talks @lincswildlife.bsky.social shorturl.at/x3alQ

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! Traditional knowledge has long guided the sustainable use of wetlands. As the Convention on Wetlands marks 55 years, #WorldWetlandsDay2026 calls on us to protect wetlands and honour cultural heritage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_Mc...

This is a pioneering new wetland restoration project on the Oxfordshire-Wiltshire border at Coleshill. It was designed to bring clean-water habitats back to the River Cole floodplain and create a much-needed wildlife corridor where 90% of freshwater habitats have been lost over the last century.

For our first Wilder Lincolnshire podcast of 2026, the team headed north to Crowle Moor to catch up with two of the Fens East Peat Partnership project officers and discuss the benefits and potential problems of using drones in conservation. Listen now at www.lincstrust.org.uk/wilder-linco...

Wetlands often preserve organic archaeological remains, but they are under threat from climate change #WorldWetlandsDay New research in the Fens of eastern England shows the need for integrated heritage and environmental management. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

Happy World Wetlands Day! 🌍 🏛️💧🌱 Did you know about the variety of wetlands that exist around the East Anglian Fens? These incredible habitats preserve evidence of past environmental change & human activity over thousands of years, as well as being vital for biodiversity, water & carbon management
