Wildflower meadows are coming to the Uni of Lincoln in new ‘Nature Positive’ partnership

Wildflower meadows are set to be planted at the University of Lincoln as part of a new “Nature Positive University” scheme.

Have you noticed the overgrown green spaces around campus dedicated to protecting wildlife? Well, in order to restore species and ecosystems that have been harmed as a result of the lack of green spaces, the University of Lincoln has announced that new wildflower meadows will be created outside the Joseph Banks Laboratories in partnership with the Lincoln Science and Innovation Park.

In 2022, The University of Lincoln allied with 117 universities in 48 countries to become a “Nature Positive University” through their commitment on campus to protect wildlife. To this day, over 500 institutions worldwide are part of this initiative, including Loughborough University and the University of Sydney.

Early next year, staff, students and members of the public will be invited to a planting event to increase pollinator areas in the green spaces around campus.

Mark Schofield, with the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, has been coordinating the establishment of the new meadow with volunteers. There will be opportunities for students to get involved in the plug planting of wildflowers next spring.
