Grants awarded for conservation projects
Twice a year Nurture Lakeland is pleased to be able to give away some of its money to several very deserving conservation projects in
This summer grants have been awarded to Wendy’s Wood in Glenridding, Orton Community Woodland, SusKes, Kirkby Stephen Riverside Walk and Appleby Riverside Walk.
We were very pleased to have so many fantastic projects to consider in this round of applications. The variety of conservation projects throughout the county is really encouraging!
Crumbs! What a tasty way to save the environment

The 156-year-old Grasmere Gingerbread Shop is selling bags of its sought-after gingerbread crumbs to raise money for conservation projects.
Entitled ‘Leave No Crumbs’, the campaign is designed to raise thousands of pounds for charity Nurture Lakeland over the next few years.
Hotel landmark at Red Screes
English Lakes Hotels are approaching a major landmark in perhaps the most unusual and little known aspect of their business: conservation.
The successful hotel group of six hotels are about to hit the £100,000 mark in their fundraising for conservation projects throughout the Lake District and Cumbria.
Projects such as Barkbooth Lot, Warton Crag, Cumbria Outdoors Sustainability Programme and Fix the Fells have benefited from the support of English Lakes Hotels over the past 15 years.
