Cumbria Wildlife Trust - Barrow Wildside Project

"Barrow’s Wildside project connects communities with their local green spaces to turn underused and neglected land into better places for people and wildlife"

"Community gardens, redundant land, woodland, parks, cemeteries, under-used playing fields and allotments are some of the places we want to see thrive. With the help of local people Cumbria Wildlife Trust hope they can help make Barrow and Walney Island an urban haven for wildlife"

"If you live in Ormsgill, Hindpool, Central, Risedale, Barrow Island and Walney North you will have a chance to develop your skills by taking part in volunteer action days and learn about wildlife days. In fact, there will be lots activities for everyone such as family events, training, conservation work parties and surveys, practical workshops, walks, and an annual celebration event"

You can follow the Barrow’s Wildside project as it develops on the Cumbria Wildlife Trust website here.

In the meantime, if know of a green space in Barrow you would like to see thriving with wildlife you can email: suet@cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk  or telephone 01539 816300.
