🌟NATURE RICH MITERDALE PROJECT - AWARDED £110,000🌟

Copeland Community Fund awarded University of Leeds a grant of £110,000 towards the Nature Rich Miterdale project; a community led landscape for skills and wellbeing 👏

The grant supports staff salaries, volunteer expenses and training over two years. Nature Rich Miterdale is a community-led conservation and skills development programme based in the Miterdale Valley, West Cumbria ⛰ and is led by University of Leeds School of Earth and Environment department in partnership with Forestry England, National Trust and local stakeholders.

The initiative aims to restore over 200 hectares of wildlife-rich habitat while engaging local residents in nature-based volunteering, education and employment pathways. The project builds on the success of the Restoring Hardknott Forest project and is designed to be inclusive, accessible, and impactful. 🌲🌳
