Cumbria Wildlife Trust cares passionately about wildlife and 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 are 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.
