The Fenland WA were probably the first wildfowling club to purchase land. This programme started in 1969, and today the club owns 108 acres of the Ouse washes outright, along with a further 140 acres of land and sporting rights in partnership with the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. A substantial portion of the latter is a wildfowl refuge area. All shooting takes place under licence from English Nature.

We lease an extensive area of flood meadow and farmland adjacent to the Great Ouse near Huntingdon, where members can shoot on a day permit scheme.

Almost every winter the A1101 at Welney floods where it crosses the Ouse Washs. Fenland WA owns and shoots over two areas just beyond this photograph.
