Happy New Year!

Hi everyone,

This is a bit belated, but Happy New Year! Hope the holidays were great!

Everyone is back to work at Wicken and the jobs have been rolling in as we’ve taken stock after the holidays; we’ve even made a list!  

Following on from getting organised we've started some bigger jobs,

For example, we have created a scallop shaped clearing in part of the plantation, to change the plant community structure and hopefully encourage some more butterfly species in there!

We’re also in the process of getting the boat ready for the summer, one of the things we have to do is test the weight distribution of the boat, by seeing how it reacts to having loads of people on one side, there’s a high chance of someone falling in, so I’ll let you know how that goes!!

Also the wildlife is still as abundant as ever, a barn owl has been flying all over the sedge fen, this week, in fact it flew about 3 metres over my head on Wednesday, I think the owl and I were as shocked as each other, an amazing sight!

Speak to you soon,

Jack.
