Case Studies
We believe in the power of collaboration, of walking the land, building trust and staying the course. That change doesn’t need to be dramatic to be transformative, and with the right support and a shared commitment, even the smallest interventions can have a lasting positive impact.
Catchment Scale, Hedgerow Planting and Wood Pasture Habitat
Multiple farm hedgerow planting and restoration of improved wood pasture habitat across the Ullswater and Matterdale area, involving 16 different farms and landowners.
Grisedale Valley Flood Resilience Project
The Grisedale Valley, a glacial U-shaped valley leading to Grisedale Tarn, faces increasing flood risks due to changing weather patterns. While popular with hikers and wild swimmers for its scenic beauty, the valley’s steep terrain and position below surrounding fells create vulnerability during heavy rainfall periods.
Ullswater Way Footpath Protection and Shoreline Restoration
The shoreline that runs from Pooley Bridge is part of the 22 mile Ullswater Way loop and is one of the highest traffic lakeside walks in our valley, as well as an essential footpath for access to holiday parks and campsites along the route.
