The Great Fen project is one of the most exciting habitat restoration projects ever undertaken in Britain. It will create a 3,700 hectare wetland. www.greatfen.org.uk

A landmark moment for the peat-free mission 🌿
For the first time in its history, the Chelsea Flower Show is fully peat-free! This is a huge step forward in protecting our precious peatlands, which store carbon, support wildlife, and help tackle climate change.
#PeatFree #RHSChelsea
Beneath our feet, peatlands are doing extraordinary things. 🌍
Bogs, fens & marshes lock away carbon and support unique wildlife like these species here.
But peat extraction destroys this balance, and the wildlife too.

🦏Did you know we have rhinos in the Great Fen?! Jenny and her daughter were exploring at Ramsey Heights and discovered this incredible rhinoceros beetle! What a fabulous find for their #30DaysWild.
