Cumbria Wildlife Trust

Who we are

Cumbria Wildlife Trust is part of a UK-wide grassroots movement made up of 46 individual Wildlife Trusts who all believe that we need nature and nature needs us. With more than 800,000 members and 2,300 nature reserves.

With a dedicated team of skilled and professional staff working closely with volunteers, partners and thousands of supporters, together we're creating a wilder future for Cumbria.

We care passionately about wildlife and wild places - we're here to put wildlife back into our land and seascapes to make Cumbria a wilder county with more space for nature.

Our culture and values

Love for Cumbria and its nature                                                                                                                                              We’re rooted in Cumbria and its communities: the people, the place and our natural environment. Our love for nature is at the heart of our work.

Taking Action                                                                                                                                                                              We seek radical change and bold thinking to make a positive difference through taking action for people and wildlife in Cumbria. 

Passionate about our cause                                                                                                                                                    Everything we do is driven by our desire to make the World a better place.
