Over recent weeks, the UK Government has launched an attack on nature, weakening the laws that protect our wildlife and making a U-turn on manifesto promises to be the greenest Government ever: reversing reforms to farming and making energy decisions that will worsen climate change.

We have no option left to us but to ask our political leaders to represent us - their electorate. 

We need to act together to #DefendNature.

Peat used in our compost is dug out of peatlands, which are very special (and incredibly wild!) habitats that also act as a carbon store, helping tackle climate change. If sales of peat-based materials like compost continue, peat extraction in the UK and imports of peat-based products from abroad will also continue. 

It's absolutely critical that peatlands remain intact and that damaged peatlands are restored, if we are to have any hope of combatting the interlinked climate and nature crises. 

The Government said that if voluntary targets were missed, it would step in with a ban. Sign our petition to call on ministers to ban sales of peat now.

The UK's insect populations are in trouble: 41% face extinction. To save them, we need to act quickly. The Wildlife Trusts are calling for everyone to be insect champions and for a pesticide reduction target to help them recover.

This is no secret. Wildlife is disappearing at an alarming rate, but there is still hope. The Wildlife Trusts are calling for at least 30% of our land and sea to be connected and protected for nature’s recovery by 2030. Making more space for nature to become abundant once again will give our struggling wildlife the chance to recover and also restore beautiful wild places.

30% is the bare minimum that nature needs to start recovering but we are far short of this and need your help to turn things around...

Sadly, since we first met Badger, Ratty and friends in 1908, the UK has become one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. The Wildlife Trusts have re-imagined Wind in the Willows in 2019, shedding light on some of the problems our wildlife faces every day. We've reached a point where our natural world is in a critical condition and needs our help to put it into recovery.

It's not too late to bring our wildlife back, but we must act now! Join the campaign and receive simple actions you can take for nature's recovery.

The Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust celebrated its 70 year anniversary! To celebrate, we asked for local crafters to help us create 70 bunting flags - one for each year of the Trust - which they feel represented Lincolnshire, it's wildlife, or the Trust. Take a look at their creations exhibited at Gibraltar Point, and see how we fundraised with a #BakeforWildlife!

We campaigned to try and secure the designation of 41 new Marine Conservation Zones in the waters around England, and for living seas where marine wildlife thrives. Take a look at why they're worth campaigning for, and how you can show your wave of support.

Thank you for all your donations! We've now raised enough money to provide a copy of 'The Lost Words' by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris to every primary, junior, special AND secondary in Lincolnshire. THANK YOU!
