The successful #PeatlandProgress bid means I'm out #surveying for #GreatCrestedNewts (like this female). This highly protected species will benefit from this project, so monitoring these 'orange-bellied dragons' throughout the restoration process is vital. wildlifebcn.org/landmarkappeal

The successful The National Lottery Heritage Fund #PeatlandProgress bid means I'm out #surveying again, for #WaterVoles . Your support of the #LandmarkAppeal helped us buy #SpeechlysFarm . This October you can discover more about the #wildlife that will benefit: wildlifebcn.org/AGM

It's fascinating to monitor @GreatFen #restoration . In this case, the transformation of an excavated hole in the ground into a thriving #pond . #CommonToads colonised their new breeding site quickly; so you can expect more of this, thanks to #PeatlandProgress and The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Surveying the #geology of #SpeechlysFarm @GreatFen, with invaluable support from Dr Steve Boreham & Cambridgeshire Geological Society & The Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs & Northants Dave Metcalfe. The #LandmarkAppeal story continues; learn more about The National Lottery Heritage Fund #PeatlandProgress project on our new tour. wildlifebcn.org/landmarkappeal

Last night's @GreatFen #moth survey recorded 17 species from our #PeatlandProgress sites. This #SmallEggar was the star. The other moth species included #WaterCarpet and #YellowHorned . Today's bird surveys heard #Chiffchaffs and #CornBunting in song, and saw #Lapwings displaying.

There are more than just #BarnOwls checking out #SpeechlysFarm at the Great Fen. With more #habitat #restoration on the way, who else will benefit from the The National Lottery Heritage Fund #PeatlandProgress project? Watch the The Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs & Northants AGM tomorrow for an update. wildlifebcn.org/AGM

Someone has arrived a little early for the #wetland restoration at #SpeechlysFarm ! More photos and videos to be seen next weekend, when The Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs & Northants Members will learn about the The National Lottery Heritage Fund #PeatlandProgress project and the #wildlife that will benefit. wildlifebcn.org/AGM

Meet our very own #HeritageTreasures ! This Heritage Treasures Day we want to highlight the amazing people working on our #PeatlandProgress heritage project – made possible by support from #NationalLottery …

I took ARU_Biology staff & students for a tour of the @GreatFen this week, including the The National Lottery Heritage Fund #PeatlandProgress project. The #HolmeFenPosts provided the usual photo opportunity; amazing to think these were once at ground level, before the drainage of the #Fens !

This #WorldRewildingDay it’s exciting to think of the work starting this year that will transform Speechly’s Farm into a vast sustainable, vibrant, working wet landscape rich in wildlife. We are putting #HopeIntoAction with #PeatlandProgress greatfen.org.uk/peatland-progr…

There’s still time for consultants to apply for these procurement opportunities contributing to the delivery phase of our #PeatlandProgress project. Closing date Dec 29th so set a reminder for after the bank holidays! wildlifebcn.org/great-fen-peat…

Our thanks to ARU for inviting us to the 'Animal and Environmental' themed career day in November. It was a pleasure to meet so many enthusiastic students, share the career opportunities within The Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs & Northants and to join the Q&A. #conservationcareers #PeatlandProgress

Henry Stanier P.S. It's so hard to pick just a few as our whole team is amazing, so please know we appreciate every single person! Thank you to everyone who is helping to make the Great Fen vision a reality!
