Rangers at work

Thousands of you visit every year to enjoy the stunning and unspoilt landscape of the Lakes. Maintaining this landscape is an ongoing job for our Rangers, to ensure that visitors can continue to enjoy it forever.

Dedicated teams of Rangers have been repairing and maintaining upland footpaths in the Lake District for over 25 years. Help us raise £300,000 to save footpaths from erosion in the Lake District.

Two thousand metres of routes need replacing in the next two years at a cost of £160 per metre. With your support, we can keep the Lake District special for years to come.
