Rewilding rooted in Lincolnshire.

A practical network for people, land and organisations working together to restore natural abundance across the county.

Accessible explanation

What rewilding means here

Rewilding is a way of helping nature recover at a meaningful scale. It focuses on natural processes: water moving through landscapes, plants regenerating, animals shaping habitat, and people giving land enough time and space to become more resilient.

In Lincolnshire, rewilding does not need to look the same everywhere. It can include wetland restoration in the fens, richer grasslands on the wolds, connected hedgerows and scrub, healthier river corridors, coastal grazing marsh, and community access to recovering wild places.

Why Lincolnshire matters

Wetlands, coast, farmland, woods and river systems all meet here.

Lincolnshire has landscapes that can make a major contribution to nature recovery: lowland peat and fen systems, coastal habitats, chalk streams, river valleys, farmland edges, woodland fragments and urban green corridors. Rewilding can help these places hold more wildlife while offering people new ways to learn, visit and take part.
