A nice listen for just under half an hour, nice mix of history, personal reminiscence and views about the future of part of the fens, namely the Great Fen project area.
My only thought was mention should have been made of the other restoration projects; those of the RSPB at Ouse Fen, the National Trust and there Wicken Vision and then the work to provide alternative habitat for wildlife especially when they are kept of the washes when spring flooding takes place such as WWF's land at Welney and the Environment Agencies land Coveney way.
Might never equate to anything like the fens used to be but all of them are helping wildlife amid the intensive agriculture.
I know there are views for and against all of these schemes, mine supports them there is room for wildlife and agriculture.
Catch a listen of the programme if you can.
