Welcome to the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape
The Lincolnshire Wolds is an open and gently rolling expanse of chalk hills, dry valleys, woodlands and mixed farmland in eastern England. Long defined by agricultural land use, this landscape comprises characteristic grasslands, chalk streams and woodland patches that support rare flora, insects and associated habitats.
Managed through a Joint Advisory Committee involving councils, community interests and partners, the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape encourages nature recovery, sustainable farming, cultural heritage care and visitor engagement, supported by the statutory management plan.
Your support could catalyse chalk stream enhancement, biodiversity monitoring, regenerative agriculture and community conservation education.
