Join David Cohen, Crane Watch Volunteer, as he tells the story of how cranes returned to Lincolnshire after 400 years.
About this Event

Back in 2020, when everyone was staying at home, a pair of cranes discovered a quiet Willow Tree and started their nest, successfully fledged a chick, the first in Lincolnshire for over 400 years. But this was just the beginning, with the cranes becoming a regular sight since then.

Join David as he takes us through the amazing work done to turn the arable farmland of Willow Treen Feb to wet fen, the wildlife that has returned, the cranes highs and lows over the last six years, and the amazing team of Crane Watch Volunteers who bring the amazing story to life for visitors.
