flag Cumbria Wildlife Trust gets £247,676 to restore degraded peatlands and combat climate change.

flag Cumbria Wildlife Trust has received £247,676 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to advance its Flagship Peatlands project, focusing on restoring degraded peatlands in two nature reserves—Foulshaw Moss and Skiddaw Forest. flag The funding will support planning, community outreach, and efforts to improve public access and awareness. flag Up to 95% of Cumbria’s peatlands are currently degraded, releasing carbon instead of storing it, and threatening water quality and biodiversity. flag The project aims to reverse this by restoring habitats, engaging schools and disability groups, and exploring species reintroductions. flag Officials stress the vital role peatlands play in climate and environmental health.
