A rich fenland has been chosen as one of four locations in Europe to trial a system of "wet farming" to maintain valuable wildlife ecosystems.

Great Fen at Speechly's Farm, between Peterborough and Huntingdon, is part of a so-called "paludiculture" pilot, known as the PaluWise project.

The method involves growing without draining the land - and at the Great Fen it will be used to grow crops including bulrush and wet grassland.
