Leven Carrs - Building a Wetland

Leven Carrs was once and extensive wetland, rich in wildlife. But years of drainage, starting in the Roman times, lead to the land becoming an area of agriculture and pasture. Now, in an example of how modern farming and wildlife conservation can benefit each other, the Leven Carrs project, led by Albanwise Ltd and Natural England, has led to the reinstatement of this once lost wetland and the biodiversity it supports.

An article detailing the project can be found in Conservation Land Management Autumn 2018 | Vol. 16 No. 3.
