Whisby Nature Park
Whisby Nature Park was opened in 1989. There are two full-time wardens who undertake habitat management and amenity maintenance and development on behalf of visitors. The Nature Park comprises a complex of small, medium and large flooded gravel pits. Some former pits in the area have been used as sediment lagoons and now form wet willow scrub or clay grasslands where the appropriate management has been undertaken. There is only one major stream, an agricultural drain of some local importance, the Pike Drain. Highlights: A total of twenty eight species of butterfly have been recorded on the Nature Park over recent years, of which twenty two occur annually.Location: Whisby Nature Park lies to the west of the Lincoln relief road (A46).
