Cumbrian water voles have suffered particularly severe losses and are in danger of becoming extinct in the county. A joint venture between Cumbria Wildlife Trust and Eden Rivers Trust aims to reverse this decline through the work of the Cumbria Water Vole Project.

The Cumbria Water Vole Project aims to:

• raise awareness of the water vole's plight
• survey, record and monitor sites to safeguard existing water vole populations
• help land owners and managers to encourage the expansion of water voles
