Hey everyone,
It's been a while since my last post so here’s an update on life at the fen!
We've been doing some tree work up at the plantation, the aim of this work was to break up the age structure of the trees and provide a greater variety of habitat. This should benefit the birds and the butterflies up there.
We also had to remove a large tree near the lode bank this week as it was showing signs of weakness at the base of its stem; this was a great chance for me to drive our shiny new tractor! As we dragged the felled tree up towards the new wind pump where it has been reused as a fence!
I've also been taking measurements and samples from the dip wells across the reserve, which is part of a study into the reserves water chemistry! This provides useful information on the processes occurring at Wicken.
More later in the week,
Jack
