@nationaltrust Sandilands, a former golf course, is a mosaic of wetlands, grassland and coastal scrub in Lincolnshire, designed to help nature thrive. The reserve is expected to provide important habitat for birds and forms part of the internationally important East Coast Flyway, one of Europe's major migration routes. Many of the species we'll see here endangered or rare, travelling thousands of miles on their extraordinary migrations, and depend on places like this to rest, feed and breed. Creating this new area of wetland to form a part of the Coastal Park will further extend the safe refuges for these birds to recharge and refuel each year, ensuring they can survive and thrive.
