The 2008 IALE (UK) conference Landscape Ecology and Conservation was held between 8th - 11th September 2008 at Cambridge University.

The field trip visited the Great Fen Project and Wicken Fen. These areas are recreating wetland landscapes in the Fenland of East Anglia near to Cambridge. They are part of the largest wetland restoration in Europe. Each is being managed in a different way to create habitats over the next one hundred years, but hopefully faster than this!
