Description

The project brings industry and conservation together in a way never seen before on this scale. The RSPB and Hanson have found an innovative and inspiring solution to some of the issues facing our natural environment today. RSPB Ouse Fen will become an expansive mosaic of wildlife-rich wetland habitat which will be over 700 hectares or 980 football pitches in size by 2030.
