Discover the benefits of Cumbria Wildlife Trust membership for free when you join with this offer for Lakeland staff.
Start exploring straight away with our membership pack – we’ll send this out in the post when you join. You’ll find new corners of Cumbria to discover in our nature reserves guide and find out about Cumbrian species in our members’ magazine (view a sample copy).
We'll also send you email updates about wildlife around the county & news from behind the scenes at the Trust, including an in-depth, bi-monthly article, Cumbrian Wildlife Extra, that gives you greater insight and exclusive information about our conservation work.
You won't start paying for your membership until you've been with us for three months – at which point you'll be clued up on Cumbrian nature and ready for more!

Family membership
Want to get the whole gang involved? Join as a family and you'll also get our ‘Wildlife Watch’ membership for up to 4 children at the same address, as well as The Wildlife Watcher's Handbook, our Wildlife Watch magazine four times a year, posters and stickers.
Our family membership is great for getting kids interested in nature. As a Watch member, your child can come along to our family events and get involved in some great practical and fun activities like pond-dipping, rock-pooling and mini-beast hunts.
What your membership means
Without our members, we simply couldn’t cover our wildlife conservation costs. Their regular support helps to buy and care for our nature reserves, tackle some of the biggest threats to Cumbria’s wildlife and advocate for nature on a national scale.
15,000 members are helping to protect Cumbria’s wildlife & wild places. YOU can make a difference too, by joining today from just £3.50 per month.
Our important and constant work in managing nature reserves wouldn't be possible without the generous support of our members, both through volunteering and financial contributions.
You can join from just £3.50 a month, though many of our members choose to give more. Make a difference for Cumbria's wildlife.
Support your local green spaces and help them to thrive. We have 41 nature reserves for you to visit across Cumbria, including windswept dunescapes, ancient woodlands, wild peatbogs and flower-rich meadows.
Join today to help us keep these places special, for wildlife and people.
