Our vision is to rewet the land for as much of the year as possible, and to develop a far greater species richness. We imagine a mosaic of fenland habitats comprised of reed beds, willow carr and open meres.

On dry land, we envisage a mixture of scrub and woodland alongside dense species-rich grassland. Large herbivores like red deer and water buffalo will be vital in shaping these habitats.

We look forward to the day when tourists navigating the wetlands in canoes, searching for bitterns and bearded tits.
