With your help the LWT can safeguard one of the largest areas of grassland left in Lincolnshire before it is ploughed and lost forever. 

The LWT have the chance to buy land near Hawthorpe village in south Lincolnshire stretching across 87 hectares. The sweeping fields and big skies already echo to the sound of skylarks in spring and, in winter, short-eared owls silently hunt over the grassland – but it could all be lost. 

The grassland at Hawthorpe was taken out of arable production and kept as ‘set aside’ for decades. Now, the LWT have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to prevent these fields from returning to intensive farming. If they can raise sufficient funds, they can purchase the land and restore it. They can bring back wildflower-rich grassland and re-link river habitats. The potential for nature is tremendous….
