So I've finished my year's placement at Wicken Fen!
It's been an awesome year working with all the great people at the fen; I've had so much fun and learned so much about practical conservation! And would just like to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to volunteer at Wicken!
Some of the best things I got up to over the year:
- Learning to drive all the tractors and getting the same number of ticks on the training board as Mr John Hughes! And doing tractor work in general!
- Improving the Roger Clarke hide by putting in more feeders and a kingfisher perch, this lead to loads of happy visitors!
- Learning how to I.D loads more birds and plants
- Never having a boring day!
- All the outrageous banter in the Docky hut and really bad puns when working on big group tasks: (think "prickly subject" when talking about barbed wire)
All in all I've had a great time and I'm going to miss working at Wicket Fen loads!!
Thanks everyone
Jack
