We need your help planting these wildflowers. Join us at Castle Bytham Meadows on Saturday (4 May) between 10am and 3pm.

Please park considerately in the village, walk along St Martin's Lane, then along path on the western edge of the meadow to the meeting point.

It could be argued that any time of year is a good time to visit Willow Tree Fen but visit now for great views of crane chicks 🐥👇

Ever heard a bittern boom?
Drop in to the Far Ings Visitor Centre on Mon 6 May, between 10am and 3pm, and you may be lucky enough to hear one.
There'll also be guided walks, crafts and you can find out how the reserve is managed to help bitterns breed.

Wonderful news from our Shorebird Team at Gibraltar Point!
The nests are wonderfully camouflaged but very vulnerable which is why we ask people to stay out of the sanctuary area on the beach.
We're also looking for volunteers to join the team: lincstrust.org.uk/volunteering-o…
