About Wilder Cumbria

This post is a key part of our Wilder Cumbria approach to inspire, involve and empower 1 in 4 local people to take positive, practical action for wildlife, the natural environment and people. Wilder is a growing national movement led by the Wildlife Trusts to help tip the scales back in nature's favour.

This is about place making and improving the places people live, work and visit to create a local nature recovery network, in partnership with the Trust. Activities that engage a wider range of people in taking action for the natural, cultural and historic heritage in their neighbourhoods will be a priority.
