Another location which will feature in the list of possible places to visit for those schools that choose to offer the new specification and want a fieldtrip or field visit as part of the course, perhaps to draw in some experts, or introduce students to some of the key habitats that the draft subject content has suggested should be the focus for student learning.Welney was the second reserve created by Sir Peter Scott for the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.
The first was at Slimbridge in 1946.
Sir Peter Markham Scott was the son of Antarctic explorer Captain Scott who, in his dying letter, urged Peter’s mother to
“make the boy interested in natural history”. He was only two years old when his father died
He also helped found the
World Wide Fund for Nature, the logo of which he designed, with its panda.
Welney Reserve is close to where I work in Ely. I have passed the reserve frequently, but only visited a few times.
