Cumbria Wildlife Trust

Cumbria Wildlife Trust cares passionately about wildlife & wild places. We’re here to put wildlife back into our land and seascapes to make Cumbria a wilder county with more space for nature. We restore and connect wild places, work with nature to tackle the climate emergency and support people to take local action for wildlife. Our skilled and dedicated staff work closely with volunteers, partners and thousands of supporters to create a wilder future for Cumbria. We’re a registered charity, part of a UK-wide grassroots movement made up of 46 individual Wildlife Trusts who all believe that we need nature and nature needs us.

Example of project your support would contribute towards:

Restoring peatland and creating a temperate rainforest to bring a range of wildlife back to the iconic 3000 acre Skiddaw Forest.
Delivering sustainable management of the Irish Sea and a cohesive network of marine protected areas as part of the International Irish Sea Network.
Working to ensure that precious grassland habitats and traditional management techniques are not lost. We are also working closely with farmers and landowners to promote wildlife-friendly practices for managing grassland habitats.
