Caring for Countryside and Coast
Cumbria Wildlife Trust is a registered charity established in 1962. Supported by over 15,000 members, we work in partnership with landowners, local authorities, other conservation organisations and businesses to conserve and protect wildlife and wild places throughout Cumbria. We care for over 40 nature reserves, which include peat bogs, limestone pavements, ancient woodlands and coastal sites. The Trust advises on the wildlife impacts of development and land management, and carries out essential wildlife survey work.

Increasing Involvement
Cumbria Wildlife Trust aims to widen awareness about wildlife: we campaign locally and nationally on issues affecting wildlife, and run an extensive education programme, helping all ages to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of nature. There are many opportunities for volunteers get involved with the vital work of the Trust such as practical conservation work, helping with fundraising and becoming a Wildlife Watch leader. To find out more go to Get Involved.

We need your support
Cumbria Wildlife Trust needs to raise thousands of pounds each year to continue its vital work in protecting Cumbria’s wildlife. We welcome support from businesses, trusts and individuals. To help us, become a corporate member, join us as an individual or family member or leave a legacy.
