The Brecks Fen Edge and Rivers LPS
The Brecks Fen Edge & Rivers Landscape Partnership Scheme is a new initiative delivering 24+ Archaeology, History and Nature focused projects that engage communities, schools and interest groups in understanding, conserving and celebrating the unique heritage of the Brecks' fen edge and river corridors. Supported by a £2m grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Scheme is hosted by Suffolk County Council and involves more than 20 partner organisations who will deliver the five-year, £3.3M scheme.
The partnership is made up of regional, national and local organisations with an interest in the area's heritage, community groups and volunteers.
The Scheme outputs will concentrate on the history and biodiversity of the river corridors and key fen edge and freshwater habitats within The Brecks, with the aim of delivering real understanding of water-based heritage and conservation issues, and positive conservation changes on the ground. This area encompasses a unique landscape in Britain with an incredible and much-overlooked heritage and biodiversity.
