Whisby Nature Park

A Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust nature reserve, Whisby Nature Park is a beautiful landscape near Lincoln, full of wildlife, walks and trails. The park was created by quarrying for sand and gravel, but nature has reclaimed the pits and bare sand, creating habitats for many species.

Events at Whisby Nature Park include guided walks, fungi forays, pond dipping, Wildlife Watch (our nature club for 6-12 year old's), Junior Wardens (an introduction to conservation for young teens) and much more.
