The Lincolnshire Coastal Grazing Marshes are steeped in history, with a rich cultural and wildlife heritage.  Traditionally associated with pastoral farming, they are also linked to the sea and the changing coastline.  The land is scattered with historic landscape features and archaeological remains.

However, very little remains of once extensive areas of traditionally managed grazing marshes and dykes and what is left is under serious threat.  Action is required now if the grazing marshes are to be conserved and enjoyed by generations to come.  The LCGM Partnership Project aims to protect, maintain and enhance the key features of the area and secure its future.

 

Thanks to a £857,399 Landscape Partnerships Grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the three-year delivery phase of the project to regenerate the Lincolnshire Coastal Grazing Marshes is now underway.  The project will focus on three target areas in East Lindsey around Burgh-le-Marsh, Saltfleetby and Huttoft & Anderby.

The project will support local farmers and landowners to conserve the remaining traditional grazing marsh by providing access to grants, advice and training.  Local communities will also be supported through a programme of cultural, educational and access projects.  These will enable local people to discover, explore and celebrate the special quality of their own local areas and boost the local economy.
