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.
