Celebrating 20 Years
This year marks a remarkable milestone for the LCSP. 20 years of dedicated work to protect, restore, and champion some of England’s rarest and most precious freshwater habitats.
From our earliest surveys to the landscape-scale conservation work underway today, none of it would have been possible without the incredible network of people who have given their time, land, knowledge, and passion to this project. Our chalk streams are healthier, better understood, and more valued because of you.
To celebrate this special anniversary, we will be holding a Thank You Event in May, bringing together partners, landowners, volunteers, and contractors who have been part of the LCSP journey. It will be a wonderful opportunity to reflect on what we have achieved together, share some of the exciting work still to come, and most importantly, say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has made the last 20 years possible.
We look forward to seeing you there. Here’s to the next 20 years.
Lincolnshire Chalk Streams Project
The Lincolnshire Chalk Streams Project works to protect and restore the county’s rare and internationally important chalk streams. Fewer than 300 exist worldwide, and the UK is home to an astonishing 85% of these crystal-clear, spring-fed waterways. Supporting a remarkable diversity of wildlife, including vulnerable species such as water voles, brown trout, and a rich range of aquatic plants and invertebrates—chalk streams are a vital part of Lincolnshire’s natural heritage.
Beyond their ecological importance, these streams hold deep cultural value, having supported local communities and traditional livelihoods for generations.
We work in partnership with landowners, communities, volunteers, and conservation organisations to care for and enhance these special places. Our work includes habitat and species restoration, ecological monitoring, specialist land and water management advice, and a growing programme of events and volunteering opportunities that help people connect with their local streams.
Our aim is simple: to ensure Lincolnshire’s chalk streams are healthy, resilient, and thriving—for wildlife now and for generations to come.
This has been one of our most ambitious river enhancement projects re-connecting the chalk stream with its floodplain. Thank you to all those involved and thank you to Chalkstream Fly for capturing the collated efforts of the partners. (www.chalkstreamfly.co.uk)
