Value our Natural Heritage

 

Stephen Phillips MP joined the campaign to 'value our natural heritage' this week after meeting local nature conservation organisation Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and the Heritage Lottery Fund at the House of Commons. The event was held to highlight the value of funding nature and its recovery and showcased a number of Wildlife Trust projects around the UK, including locally. Stephen said, "It was great to hear how HLF-funded Wildlife Trust projects have brought benefits to local wildlife and people. This shows what can be done if a body invests in and values the natural environment and I look forward to Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and the Heritage Lottery Fund continuing to work together to protect and restore nature and to help people engage with the natural world." Stephanie Hilborne OBE, Chief Executive of The Wildlife Trusts, said: "We warmly welcome the support that HLF has given to The Wildlife Trusts over 16 years. And we welcome the support shown by parliamentarians. With an uncertain economic future, we look forward to funding streams that protect and restore nature continuing."
