South Lincolnshire Fenlands
The South Lincolnshire Fenlands Partnership aims to restore and re-create up to 800 hectares of Lincolnshire's lost wild fenlands between Bourne and Market Deeping.
Centred on the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust Nature Reserves in Baston and Thurlby Fens, habitat restoration will include areas of wet grasslands, utilised for grazing and hay production, reedbeds, swampland, wet woodlands and open water.
Working with local landowners, farm tenants, the mineral industry and local communities, the project partners are seeking to create a sustainably managed landscape in which wildlife and people will thrive.
Aims:
» To encourage an interest and participation in the project and the Lincolnshire fens
» To provide information for schools and university students to use
» To raise awareness of the biodiversity value of the Lincolnshire fens
 
Did You Know ......
Less than 1% of Eastern England's 'wild-fen' wetlands remain - and the surviving fragments are scattered and vulnerable:
» the special plants and animals associated with these wetlands are now rare or threatened with extinction;
» and the fenland people's relationship with their wild and historic wetland heritage has become increasingly distant.
