About West Lakes countryside management
Join our rangers for a variety of work on the fells and the beautiful Wasdale Valley.Assist the rangers with a variety of landscape and ecologically enhancing works. You could be carrying out a variety of tasks, including: dry-stone walling, fencing, footpath restoration and scrub removal. We will take you on a guided walk to illustrate how your work today will directly help to maintain our upland heritage (walls), landscape and ecology for the future. Project selection may vary depending on local priorities at the time or the weather! A reasonable level of fitness, a willingness to learn and a sense of humour is all that is required – we will supply the rest.
