Crow Plantation is a woodland area located in the county of Lincolnshire, England. Nestled in the heart of the county, it spans across a vast area of approximately 200 acres. The plantation is characterized by its dense and diverse forest cover, which includes a variety of tree species such as oak, beech, birch, and pine.

The woodland is teeming with wildlife and serves as a crucial habitat for numerous species. It is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers, who flock to the plantation to observe the rich avian population that calls it home. Common bird species found in the area include robins, woodpeckers, owls, and various types of finches.

The plantation offers an idyllic setting for leisurely walks and outdoor activities. There are several well-maintained trails that meander through the forest, providing visitors with the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the woodland. The paths are often lined with carpets of wildflowers during the spring and summer months, adding a splash of vibrant colors to the already picturesque surroundings.

In addition to its recreational value, Crow Plantation also plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the region. The dense forest cover helps in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, while also providing a natural barrier against soil erosion.

Overall, Crow Plantation in Lincolnshire is a precious natural asset that offers both ecological significance and recreational opportunities for locals and visitors alike.

Life saving advice I have photographed many of these public access defibrillators, but this is the first I have seen with advice about the whole treatment of the victim.  I love this country.  A few well-meaning individuals have sat down and thought about when this device may be used, and taken their own actions to help.  This is why local voluntary action works so well.
