Restoration begins on Great Fen’s 136-hectare Speechly’s Farm phase
Work is under way to turn 136 hectares of former farmland in Cambridgeshire into wetland, with channels, pools and reedbeds forming the Speechly’s Farm phase of the Great Fen. The 5 October report confirms restoration has begun, rather than that the habitat is complete. The separately completed 25-hectare New Decoy phase is an earlier milestone.
