Join us to hear the story of Wicken Fen, including the tale of trying to bring back a lost frog species to Cambridgeshire. Less than 1% of original fen survives in East Anglia, of which Wicken Fen is a fragment. However, the Wicken Fen Vision is an ambitious plan to create a diverse landscape for wildlife and people stretching the edge of Cambridge, and maybe also a home for the lost Pool Frog.
Please arrive at 17.45. Talk: 18.00 - 18.45. Galleries will be open until 19.30 to explore after the talk.
