This project, funded by the Ouse Washes Landscape Partnership and the Heritage Lottery Fund, was carried out in 2014-15. It has enabled Prickwillow Museum to expand its education offering to meet the particular needs of schools in the Ouse Washes area, and those schools wanting to find out more about the unique landscape of the Fens.
​
​New visual resources, which can be used in the classroom and viewed at the Museum, have been created and are available here. Films showing the engines in action are available here.
