To support the Campaign, join LCPRE today
With its spectacular cathedral, gentle pace of life, and delightful riverside setting,
Ely is a special place to live. But its rapid growth has put increasing pressure
on the city’s remaining green spaces.
The quiet backwaters of Roswell Pits and the nearby wetlands and meadows along the
River Great Ouse are now the last
fragments of nature
around Ely.
They are invaluable for wildlife. Because of their proximity to the city, they are
also a precious haven where local people can unwind.
But new
developments
now threaten irrevocable damage to the area, harming nature and people alike.
LCPRE
is campaigning to protect these vitally important areas before it’s too late.
