Wilder Safari-Ham Fen

Safaris at Ham Fen will return in March 2023. 

Learn about the once native beaver which were reintroduced to the site in 2001 in an effort to restore the waterways of Kent’s last remaining fen. You’ll see evidence of these ‘water engineers’, including distinctive gnawed tree stumps, dams and lodges, and find out about their ability to slow running water and create pools and marshes, and the benefits this has for other wildlife at the reserve.

During the spring and summer you’ll find special safaris at dusk and dawn, timed to increase your chances of seeing the elusive residents of the fen for yourself.
