New Woodland Planned for Lincolnshire
22 Nov, 2025
Summary
- A fifth woodland is planned for Lincolnshire.
- The new woodland covers 252 acres near Hagworthingham.
- Lincolnshire has only 4% of its land covered by trees.
Forestry England has announced plans to establish a fifth new woodland within Lincolnshire. This latest site, located near the village of Hagworthingham, will span 252 acres (102 hectares).
This development joins four other woodlands previously announced for locations including Cadney, North Carlton, Newball, and Mickleholme. Collectively, these projects will introduce approximately 3.7 square miles (9.6 square km) of new trees across the county.
The initiative addresses Lincolnshire's status as one of England's least wooded counties, where tree cover currently stands at a mere 4% of the total land area. These new woodlands aim to enhance biodiversity and green infrastructure.
