Endangered Species Wildlife Conservation

Cumbria Wildlife Trust is one of the largest nature conservation bodies in the area. 

We manage over 3000 hectares of nature reserves which are havens for rare and threatened species and habitats.

We give wildlife a voice, campaign on wildlife issues and focus on protecting local wildlife.  

We're the only voluntary organisation devoted solely to the conservation of the wildlife and wild places of Cumbria.

Help us to protect local wildlife - the best way to do this is through membership.
