Have you seen any 'Signs of Spring'

Well as was to be expected we are all back in lockdown again for a few weeks and having to stay local. So why not use this as an excuse to take your daily exercise exploring LOHP sites, we have lots of permissive paths to explore and will be creating a new leaflet and map later this year showing all the routes. Well behaved dogs and children are always welcome and wellies are a must as at this time of year as the paths are extremely wet and muddy.

Now is a great time to start to look for 'Signs of Spring' emerging and other exciting things happening on the fens. Why not take some pictures or video and email them to us at enquiries@lohp.org.uk (remember to include your name, where and when the picture was taken, what it is of if it's unclear and give us your permission to use it), we will then try and show as many as we can on our website and social media channels.

If you are not close enough to visit our sites why not send in your pictures of 'Spring on your doorstep'.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Everyone at LOHP would like to wish our volunteers, members, supporters and funders all the best at Christmas. We would also like to thank our volunteers for all their hard work and dedication through this last year.

All the best for 2021. Join us next year for more adventures.

Early Christmas Present

We are pleased to announce that our project ‘Reconnecting people with nature’ has secured funding from Postcode Local Trust. Postcode Local Trust is a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

Our organisation received £6,972.00 from the Trust to help us to further engage and educate local residents and visitors. The funds will help us to create dedicated waymarked walking routes and an accompanying leaflet that will allow people to explore the Little Ouse and find out more about the wildlife and history of the area, while increasing community access to outdoor space. It will also provide volunteers with equipment to help them carry out surveying and practical conservation work, as well as developing promotional material to raise the profile of the project.

We hope to start work on the project with our volunteers in January 2021 with it being completed by December 2021. So, look out for the new leaflet and walking routes coming soon.
