Thank you

Although this has been a difficult time for us, we have been so grateful for all your heart-warming support.  You have been our eyes and ears on the ground, helped us with surveying, kept us entertained in sharing your unusual and spectacular wildlife sightings and been our most important financial backers.  We cannot thank you enough for staying with us and continuing your support.  More than ever, you are needed now as we begin the process of recovery.

We are still adapting to the changing situation and are welcoming back furloughed staff and of course our valued volunteers.   Catching up on nature reserve management jobs and time lost from the survey season are priorities, as is making sure you can visit our nature reserves safely. If you visit any of our nature reserves, and you find the parking areas full, please just come back another time.

A green recovery

Like most organisations we are facing financial challenges and our recovery will take some time. But recovery isn’t just about our organisation, it’s about the recovery of our local wildlife as the climate change emergency and biodiversity crisis have not gone away.

The Wildlife Trusts are calling for the Government to put nature at the heart of our economic recovery – a green recovery.  Recent events have brought the value of a healthy of natural world more sharply into focus, yet nature’s decline is relentless. Given the chance, nature is capable of making an extraordinary recovery. Now is the opportunity to do more than just fighting for what we can salvage, but to put nature back into active recovery and start to bring wildlife back.   Our natural world needs to see active recovery for wildlife happening across 30% of our land and seas by 2030. The impact of this will be extraordinary for wildlife and for you.  

Please will you donate now to help Cumbria’s green recovery or join us as a member to support this vision today.
