Lincolnshire’s woodland figures all in the red AND the county is one of the five worst in England for woodland cover.
Woodland cover in Lincolnshire is less than half as much than the national average (4.2% compared to 10%), and with just 5.8% of its population having access to a wood within walking distance, and 12 precious ancient woods having come under threat in the last 10 years – five of which have already been lost or damaged – action is needed.
