A landscape for nature recovery

Restoring and connecting wildlife & wild places in our nature-depleted county is now incredibly urgent as we begin to see changes the climate crisis is having on the natural world.

Wildfires and flooding are increasing in Cumbria, and record summer temperatures are affecting nature’s seasonal patterns.

We're living in a time of real challenge, facing intertwined nature, climate and health emergencies that are having devastating, global impacts. But there are still ways to make positive changes.

Restoring nature can help tackle the climate crisis and improve human health too.

  • Cumbria Wildlife Trust cares passionately about wildlife & wild places.
  • Working with organisations, businesses, individuals and communities, we’re here to reverse the loss of wildlife and habitats, to put wildlife back into Cumbria’s land and seascapes and make the county wilder with more space for nature.
  • We work with nature to lessen the effects of climate breakdown and help wildlife – and society - adapt to the changes and challenges that lie ahead.
