Sunday 21 July: Whisby Nature Park (Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust)
Today’s task could either be ragwort control or hay raking or similar. Either way it’s always nice to help the wardens here. They work hard to manage the reserve for the benefit of the thousands of visitors who enjoy this super wildlife site. Last year we spotted a grass snake under one of their corrugated tin ‘homes’.
Meet at the wardens' office at Whisby Nature Park.

Sunday 4 August: Coastal Eco Centre, Skegness (Seagull Recycling)
We enjoyed a smashing Sunday here in August last year and helped to rebuild an old log wall, created a minibeast hotel and cleared space to let buddleias flourish. I’m sure we will be involved in similarly enjoyable work today so come along and find out what might be in store.
Meet at the Eco Centre, near Richmond Caravan Park, Skegness.

Sunday 1 September: Ashing Lane Nature Reserve (Nettleham Woodland Trust)
We will be working today at this young but already well-established woodland. We’ve been involved since its very early days when we helped to plant tree ‘whips’ in bare fields. We’ll be carrying out a variety of tasks from scything meadows, wood chipping paths and ditch clearaing to staining benches.
Meet at the reserve, Ashing Lane, off the A46 (Dunholme bypass).

Sunday 15 September: Snakeholme Pit (Butterfly Conservation)
A welcome return to this small 2-acre reserve. It comprises a meadow and a pond which covers about a third of the site. Grey heron and kingfishers are seen here. Today we will be tackling some hedging that needs cutting back and tidying up areas the grass cutter cannot reach.
Meet in the layby by the reserve.

Sunday 6 October: Whisby Nature Park (Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust)
**An amazing achievement – this task marks our 30th anniversary!**
We will re-visit the area we worked in last December, the Orchid Glade, and continue with the removal of birch and gorse. This year there has been an explosion of cowslips in this area, which may have been encouraged by last year’s clearance work.
Meet at the wardens' office at Whisby Nature Park.

Sunday 20 October: Cross O'Cliff Orchard (Lincolnshire County Council)
Our Group’s work here will be a good boost for Richard, the orchard’s custodian, as we help him with some necessary winter maintenance. We will probably tackle bramble clearance, some work to clear the hedge lines and some supervised tree pruning.
Meet at the orchard entrance on Cross O'Cliff Hill, Lincoln.
