The Brecks Fen Edge and Rivers LPS

The Brecks Fen Edge & Rivers Landscape Partnership Scheme is a new initiative delivering 24+ Archaeology, History and Nature focused projects that engage communities, schools and interest groups in understanding, conserving and celebrating the unique heritage of the Brecks' fen edge and river corridors.

The Scheme outputs will concentrate on the history and biodiversity of the river corridors and key fen edge and freshwater habitats within The Brecks, with the aim of delivering real understanding of water-based heritage and conservation issues, and positive conservation changes on the ground. This area encompasses a unique area in East Anglia with an incredible and much-overlooked landscape.
