In the charity's own words
The LOHP is a voluntary, community project dedicated to the restoration of the important wildlife and landscape of the fens and heaths of the upper Little Ouse Valley. Although biodiversity conservation is at the heart of our work, we aim to achieve this in a way that both engages and benefits the local community.
