After a short hiatus to clean up the area, we're happy to report that the hedgehog habitat has returned to the sports bridge flyover!

We've spotted signs of hedgehog life in the area, and hope that they enjoy their cosy new home.

We also spotted, what we think is, an Aloe Vera plant that someone kindly planted in the area.

Your waste in numbers!

We're excited to announce that in the last 12 months we've seen a drop in the amount of waste produced per student, and an increase in how much waste is being recycled, which shows we're being more mindful about what we buy and what we repurpose.

Have you been going wild this month?

We have lots of green spaces on campus and some beautiful parks within Lincoln to explore.

Keep your eyes peeled for opportunities this month to go 'wild with nature' on campus.

You can visit Boultham Park and Hartsholme Park pages to sign up for some of their activities happening this month.

Additionally, you can try the iBiodiversity web-based app to learn about the plants and wildlife, and share what you've found whilst going wild:

With the new waste legislation starting in homes next month, we've invited the Lincolnshire County Council Waste team onto campus to answer your waste related questions!

You can ask why you've got the new food bin, what happens to the waste afterwards, settle your curiosity on why some plastics can be recycled and why others definitely can't!

They're be onsite tomorrow from 10.30 until 13:00 to answer all your waste related questions!

Location: Minerva Building Atrium

We’re excited to announce that, in partnership with Lincolnshire County Council, we’ve scheduled two “Cycling in Lincoln” workshop sessions for Thursday 12 March for our staff members and students.

These will be interactive sessions exploring the key barriers to cycling in the city.

Together, we’ll look at opportunities to enhance existing cycle routes, identify potential locations for new cycle storage, and discuss how to make cycling safer and more accessible for everyone.

You’ll also have the chance to speak directly with the LCC Active Travel Officer, ask questions, and share your ideas for improving cycling provision on campus.
You can choose between:
11:00–12:30 and 13:00–14:30

Each workshop will run for 1.5 hours, with the option to leave after the first hour if needed, and will be held in the Minerva Building on the Brayford Campus.

If you’d like to be involved with this project, you can book onto one of the workshops here: lncn.ac/CycleWork

Spaces are limited, so booking is essential.

The first of our four free nature workshops will help you see Riseholme in a whole new light.

Wednesday 4th February, 16:30 - 18:30.
Book here: lncn.ac/nbevents

Using UV torches, you'll be guided around the campus looking for species that come alive with vibrant hues of green, blue, red, purple and orange. Join us to learn more about this unique and mysterious phenomenon and how it might be used to study elusive species.

Beyond the visible light spectrum, which is the part that the human eye can see, is a glowing ultraviolet world normally only seen by creatures with specialised eyes. This is known as biofluorescence, and it occurs when certain organisms emit light in different colours than the ones they absorb. From camouflage and pollination to reproduction and protection, scientists are only just beginning to understand its purpose.
