The fen people made a living from fishing, wild fowling, reed cutting and peat digging. Most of the area was drained for agriculture during the last few centuries but a few pockets of fen remained. Now there are moves to reinstate part of it as wetland managed for wildlife.John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-76909372758471602052019-07-15T19:57:23.845+01:002019-07-15T19:57:23.845+01:00Does fen mean wetland, or marsh or meadow?
