Our NT Cumbria Volunteer Group

This group is made up of a hardy and dedicated bunch covering all of the National Trust properties in Cumbria; no job is too big or too small. A good proportion of the team are based in the lakes but some travel from as far away as Cheshire and the Midlands, which emphasises the commitment and dedication to Conservation and National Trust.

The team hard at work clearing the site ready for laying.

The weekend saw the team working near Coniston on a hedge laying day. Hedge laying is one of everyone’s favourite tasks, It was a great day had by all with fantastic sunny weather for a change?!

Taking a step back to admire your handywork!

 After a well earned lunch and Birgit’s cake (not for the faint hearted!), the team finished off laying the hedge.

Feeling inspired?
Coming soon to a property near you! If you’re feeling inspired or interested in the work they do or you just want to meet the team, they’ll be working at Ash Landing near the car ferry on the Western side of Windermere on the 2nd of December...let's hope the weather is as good again!
