Green Recovery Challenge Fund
New project helping habitats adapt to climate change
A partnership project between Lincolnshire County Council, the Lincolnshire Chalk Streams Trust and the Lincolnshire Chalk Streams Project has secured more than £200,000 from the Government’s Green Recovery Challenge Fund.
The fund, delivered by The National Lottery Heritage Fund in partnership with Natural England and the Environment Agency, will enable the installation of nature based solutions in the River Rase catchment to help the chalk stream adapt to climate change.
The 18-month project will include the installation of natural flood management schemes over 24.3 kilometres, including field bunds, leaky barriers, scrapes, ponds, re-profiling and two or more habitat enhancements, such as improving cattle drinking areas to reduce poaching of the banks.
