Wild things to do in Lincolnshire

For the final blog of my 10 week placement I thought I would share some of the things I would recommend doing in Lincolnshire.

Volunteers at Gibraltar Point

Managing our reserves

During my placement I have been lucky to have visited some of the Trust’s reserves and find out what goes in to managing them as special sites for nature.

Whale breach

A life on the ocean wave

Managers of Marine Protected Areas across the UK came together to discuss the challenges they face and to share good practice.

Dandelion

Sowing the seeds

Last week I attended Grantham's very own science fair - Gravity Fields.

Colsterworth visit

A 'green line'

Having learned about the importance of green corridors for the movement of wildlife, I visited a site in Colsterworth to see some conservation in action.

Surveying

Surveying Lincolnshire

I've been out with the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust's Wildlife Sites Officer, Jeremy Fraser, to survey and identify wildflowers and grasses in Lincolnshire.

Verge wildflowers

Wildlife superhighways

I look at how the Wildlife Trust's are using our transport infrastructure to link nature reserves and create a 'green corridor' for wildlife.

Bunting flags

Flying the flag

My first morning at the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust was hands on, but not as I expected it to be!

My introduction to the Wild(life Trust)

I've been lucky enough to obtain an internship with the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, and I'll be blogging about my 10 week placement here.
