Education
is at the heart of the work of the Lincolnshire Wildlife
Trust. Last
year (November), with funding from
the Heritage Lottery Fund and Waste Recycling
Environmental Ltd (WREN), the Trust launched a
three-year project: the Education and Community Action
Project or ECAP.

Mary Porter, Education
Development Officer said "For over 50 years the
Trust has encouraged educational use of nature reserves,
primarily at our residential field centre at Gibraltar
Point National Nature Reserve but also at other sites.
This work has expanded rapidly since the start of the
Education and Community Action Project. We have new and
experienced education staff; who have already come up
with new and stimulating ideas for all ages groups and
abilities – both on nature reserves and visiting
schools and community groups."
