Who is doing what in the Fens? A Project and Stakeholder Network Diagram

The FensNetwork is available at the weblink below. We also attach a PDF of the Network Diagram as of November 2025. We will submit new versions of the Diagram at regular intervals, but the online version will always be the most up to date version. The Fens, East Anglia, UK are one of the most productive agricultural regions in England, but it’s also an area at risk from climate change and environmental degradation, leading to debate about how to ensure sustainable land management into the future. Historical drainage of peat for agriculture has resulted in emissions of greenhouse gases as well as peat degradation, biodiversity loss, increased drought and also flood risks. The development of a holistic, inclusive, and plausible approach to a sustainable future for the Fens is urgently needed. There are many organisations and projects working to address the issues faced by the region and with this comes a risk of a lack of joined up strategies and actions. Stakeholders across the region identified the need for a comprehensive visualisation and information source about the many organisations and projects involved in the Fens. This FensNetwork Diagram from the Centre for Landscape Regeneration collates this information into one place, enabling all those who are interested in the Fens a way to see how everything fits together and where to find more information as needed. This Network Diagram is an evolving resource, please always refer to the live weblink. Please contact the corresponding author with any corrections or additions.
