The Lincolnshire Wolds AONB is sparsely populated, with small settlements and many isolated farmsteads. However, the activity that many of these communities undertake is vital in protecting and enhancing their own environment and the wider landscape.  

The Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service work with communities on numerous projects, including landscape and conservation improvements, local business ventures and information provision. Basically, any community within the AONB can contact us for assistance, guidance and help in funding opportunities for projects that can improve their environment and we will help and assist wherever possible. 

Some of the projects we have helped with include; 

Belchford – help and assistance with conservation improvements within their churchyard 

Binbrook – the provision of updated walk leaflets. Also assistance to upgrade the facilities at Queen's Hall for community use via our Sustainable Development Fund.

Brinkhill History Group – ideas, support and provision of an information panel 

Caistor Yarborough School – redevelopment of the student garden 

Irby – advice and assistance for tree works at their conservation area
