Welcoming in the New Year

This was the first year since 2019 that we did not have to have some sort of restriction in place limiting the number of people allowed to attend one of our walks and we were not disappointed. 52 people (and a few four legged friends) donned their wellies and joined us on our winter walk on 2nd January.

Everyone enjoyed a gentle stroll around LOHP sites, stopping at points of interest to be told more about the fen's history, wildlife and what we have been up to over the years to maintain its importance. Nick Lingwood, LOHP Trustee, Secretary and practical conservation volunteer was our knowledgeable guide for the morning.

After an pleasant morning out in the fresh air, some people headed up to Thelnetham White Horse to see what refreshments were on offer to warm up. Thank you to all of those who helped to organise the event and thank you to those of you that came along. Look out for more events coming up during the next year.

Fens through the Seasons

Local resident and artist Penny Lindop spent some of her time during lockdown out and about on the fens, where she turned her hand at making short vidoes reflecing the quietness and tranquility of the fens.
