Since 1973, English Heritage has supported four
major regional surveys of England's wetlands- in
the Somerset Levels, the Fens of Eastern England,
the wetlands of the northwest of England and the
Humber wetlands. Each of these projects
developed a range of methods and techniques
particular to the landscape that was studied and
the results from the surveys reflect this diversity of
approach. This paper compares and contrast these
approaches, and evaluates their effect on the
overall results of each of these surveys.
