Cumbria Wildlife Trust

The Cumbria Wildlife Trust is custodian of some fabulous places to walk near Kirkby Stephen, including Smardale Gill, Argill Woods and Tarn Sike. There are full details of all the reserves and a map on the Cumbria Wildlife Trust website.

The Upper Eden Support Group is one of a network of groups which exist to support Cumbria Wildlife Trust in its work to conserve and protect wildlife and wild places throughout Cumbria. The group runs a variety of fundraising activities, and members and non-members alike are welcome to join any of the events. These include interesting talks in winter (held at Kirkby Stephen Friends Meeting House; entry £3.00) and walks in summer (free but donations welcome!)

You can roll up your sleeves and join a work party - a great way to meet people, get fit and, of course, help conserve and protect these environments and their wildlife. Visit the Cumbria Wildlife Trust website and find out how to join in these activities.
