The LOHP is a local charity, dedicated to the restoration, conservation and promotion of enjoyment of the wildlife and landscape of the Little Ouse valley on the Suffolk/Norfolk border for the benefit of wildlife, people and climate.
Volunteers have been busy over the last few weeks clearing fen vegetation from New Fen, and had some unlikely helpers last week while unloading the tarpaulins onto the ever growing arisings pile on Parkers Piece! Photos courtesy of Ellie Beach. #volunteersmakeadifference

Our thanks to Mark Smith, one of our volunteers, who was a font of knowledge leading our Moss Identification walk on Sunday. Everyone found it very interesting and went away knowing a little more about this fascinating species. #moss #littleouseriver #fens

Did you know the Little Ouse is one river which is being ‘re-wiggled’ by the Norfolk Rivers Trust, to reinstate wildlife habitats where humans had ironed them out.
