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
