Cumbria Wildlife Trust is a wildlife conservation charity. The trust cares passionately about wildlife and wild places – they’re here to put wildlife back into our land and seascapes to make Cumbria a wilder county with more space for nature.

They restore and connect wild places, work with nature to tackle the climate emergency and support people to take local action for wildlife.

With a dedicated team of skilled and professional staff working closely with volunteers, partners and thousands of supporters, together they’re creating a wilder future for Cumbria.

Formed in 1962 and supported by thousands of members and supporters, the trust cares for 41 nature reserves, campaigns for the protection of endangered habitats and species such as limestone pavements and red squirrels, and works with adults and children to discover the importance of the natural world.

Cumbria Wildlife Trust is 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. With more than 800,000 members and 2,300 nature reserves, The Wildlife Trusts is the largest UK voluntary organisation dedicated to conserving the full range of the UK’s habitats and species.
