This morning, an event was held to celebrate all of this year's completed UROS projects, at which Robin and Tinashe were awarded the Dean of Teaching and Learning's prize for an outstanding project.

Very well done to both researchers, and to all who participated in UROS 2025!

Working with mentors from the Conservation and Natural Sciences departments, and using Robin's expertise in ornithology and Tinashe's in preventive conservation measures, the pair worked to understand and prepare a display of owl pellets recovered from Doddington Hall, for display to the public.

Congratulations Tinashe and Robin! 🎉 who worked together this summer, on a research project funded through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Scheme - a University of Lincoln initiative that supports students to develop authentic experiences of planning and executing scholarly projects.

We're delighted that the Heritage Lincolnshire team has received royal recognition for their hard work, and look forward to continuing our collaboration on exciting projects such as the restoration of 'The Harlequin' building next door to the Wonky House.

As a guest of Heritage Lincolnshire, Leah had the opportunity to speak to HRH about our ongoing partnership with them, which provides conservation students with invaluable hands-on work experience, research opportunities, and skills development through authentic industry projects.

This historic building has recently been saved from a significant deathwatch beetle infestation, thanks to the efforts of Heritage Lincolnshire and partners, including Historic England, The Architectural Heritage Fund, and City of Lincoln Council.

Royal visit 👑

We're honoured that lecturer Leah represented our department and the University of Lincoln during HRH The Duke of Edinburgh's visit to Lincoln last week.

One of the highlights of the visit was the Duke's stop at the iconic 'Wonky House' at the junction of Michaelgate and Steep Hill.

A statement in support of our colleagues in National Trust properties and conservation studios around the country.

Beige text against a burnt orange background reads: As individuals and a team, the academic and technical staff within the University of Lincoln's department of Conservation are shocked and saddened to learn of the redundancies taking place within National Trust conservation studios and properties. The National Trust has been a sector leader in the care and conservation of our shared cultural heritage for generations, and a beacon to which our students look for inspiration, guidance, and experience. We are concerned for what the cuts may mean for emerging professionals and the conservation sector, but we send our heartfelt thanks to each and every National Trust colleague - past and present - who has supported us in our educational and research aims over the years. We are standing with you in solidarity, as one conservation community. October 2025.
