Dear
There has been some excitment at the Trust of late with the appearance of nine ospreys at our Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve in the south of the county. We have also made an appeal to our members to help us fund our planning work - you can contribute to this vital work too. There's lots more in this month's enewsletter, so thanks for taking the time to find out about our work.

Wet and wild – perfect for ospreys
For the first time, nine ospreys were spotted resting and feeding at Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve, near Witherslack, at the end of August. This is a sure sign that Cumbria Wildlife Trust’s restoration work there is bringing wetland birds back to south Cumbria.
Planning appeal - Donate now!
Planning and built development has a huge impact on Cumbria’s wildlife and countryside. We work extensively with planners, developers and decision-makers to ensure development avoids damage to wildlife and, wherever possible, benefits the natural environment.
