Join us in our 50th anniversary year & help clear the way for wildlife!
Scrub clearance from superb species-rich grassland areas along the track bed. This is to maintain the open ride for important butterfly species and flowering plants, including recently re-discovered fly orchids, by preventing its succession to woodland. Brash burning may be involved. Kids are welcome if accompanied by parent or guardian at all times. Outdoor clothes, gloves and strong boots are recommended. Bring a packed lunch and flask for tea. Booking is essential - please contact Andrew Walter on 01539 816300 or email andreww@cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk
