Environment Agency | EA investigations into waste and water offences across Lincolnshire have secured £168,000 for a Lincolnshire charity.
The money will be used by Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust to support nature recovery and deliver environmental benefits across Lincolnshire. It follows Enforcement Undertakings accepted by the Environment Agency.
An Enforcement Undertaking is available to the Environment Agency as a sanction for dealing with some environmental offences.
