Groundwork has begun to create a new area of wetland at the Great Fen nature reserve, in Cambridgeshire, as part of The Great Fen project.

Work at New Decoy Farm, near Ramsey, will create channels that will eventually fill with water and help turn former arable fields into reedbeds, grassland and ponds.

Lorna Parker, Great Fen project manager, said: "A lot of planning and preparation work has led up to this moment, so it is fantastic to see the diggers breaking ground at New Decoy for the first time."

The Great Fen Vision began in 2000 as the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire came together with other bodies to create a 14-square mile (36 sq km) wetland landscape.

Wow!
