Sunday 17 March 2024: Kirkby Gravel Pits (Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust)
A new site to visit today, to help with the installation of post and rail fencing. This work should keep us warm if the weather is still cold. Either way it will be a big help to Kevin (also the warden of Woodhall Spa airfield) and his team in progressing one of their larger jobs, where our many hands can make a positive contribution.
Meeting location to be advised by leader.

Sunday 7 April 2024: Bridge Farm, Snitterby (Private owner)
Today we’ll be helping the owner of this 37-acre farm that is located on the side of the River Ancholme. Our key task will be building a dead hedge and there will also be some cutting back of blackthorn hedging. We can have a bonfire! Pattie kindly provides us with her homemade soup, which always goes down well.
Meet at Bridge Farm, Snitterby Carr, Gainsborough, DN21 4UX.

Sunday 21 April 2024: Hartsholme Country Park (City of Lincoln Council)
We will be working for the rangers of Hartsholme Country Park, although at the time of writing this, it is not certain what we will be doing. We might even work at one of their other sites in the city (teaser alert – a new site has been acquired!). Look out for the leader’s email in the week before to find out more.
Meet at Hartsholme Rangers Office (opposite café).

Sunday 5 May 2024: Ashing Lane Nature Reserve
We will have a variety of jobs to undertake today at this approximately 15-year-old woodland. Nearer the time we will know what these are. Some of us remember planting tiny whips (young trees) in open fields in 2009. Come along and see what that newly created woodland has grown into – I think you’ll be pretty impressed.
Meet at the reserve, Ashing Lane, off the A46 (Dunholme bypass).

Sunday 2 June 2024: Rauceby Warren (Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust)
When working here last year we tackled some dry stone walling and some ragwort pulling. I expect we will be doing the same this year, although some other seasonal tasks might be included. This small 9-hectare reserve consists mainly of grassland and abandoned gravel pits.
Meet at the reserve, south-west of Sleaford.

Sunday 16 June 2024: Gibraltar Point NNR (Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust)
Take part in a bird count of breeding waterbirds around Tennyson Sands and / or Jackson’s Marsh. An informal 2-3-hour count, recording numbers and whether birds are on nests or not. A chance to walk around the reserve. Bring your own binoculars but if you don’t own a pair, not a problem: we’ll share. Hoping for use of their telescope!
Meeting location to be advised by leader.
