Partners and Supporters

Five organisations came together to create the Great Fen, but this ambitious habitat restoration project would not be possible without the support of many individuals, businesses, charities and trusts.

The Great Fen partners

The Great Fen would not exist without a partnership of five organisations who deliver the Great Fen. Between them, the partners provide expertise in conservation, recreation, business and tourism, flood protection and water management, and community and visitor engagement.
