Area Groups in North Lincolnshire
Hello from Grimsby and Cleethorpes Area Group!
Welcome to our page! Our group seeks to raise funds for nature conservation and promote membership of Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust. We host walks in summer and indoor talks from October to April held at Grimsby Town Hall.
There are also opportunities to volunteer on Trust nature reserves and to send in wildlife records. We would be happy to accept any reports or photographs of wildlife that you have encountered in Grimsby, Cleethorpes or the surrounding areas. Please send them to jackiekirk46@gmail.com
For more information on our events, follow our Facebook page or get in touch with us below. We look forward to meeting you!

All talks are held on a Monday, 7.30pm in the Banqueting Suite at Grimsby Town Hall, Town Hall Square, Grimsby, DN31 1HU. There is a car park at the side of the Town Hall which is free at night. If anyone requires access via a lift, rather than stairs, there is parking in the street on the other side of the Town Hall where there is access to a lift. There will be a break for refreshments half way through the talk, and coffee and tea is available.
Talks are £5. No booking required. You do not need to be a member to join our activities, all welcome!

14 Dec: 'A cycle tour of Lincolnshire Nature Reserves' by Libby John.
Professor Libby John, Chair of Trustees of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and Dean of Sustainability at Lincoln University, set herself the challenge hoping to find out more about nature in Lincolnshire and raise some money to support nature's recovery. She has now completed that challenge, cycling almost 1,700 miles across Lincolnshire, from the Wash to the Humber, Stamford to the coast, in weather including glorious sunshine, snow, rain, hail and gale-force winds. Come along and listen to her journey and her reflection on nature in Lincolnshire.
