Conservation day at Skiddaw Forest Nature Reserve

Volunteer tasks such as tree planting, fencing and path maintenance support Skiddaw Forest’s restoration.

Volunteering activities take place on Skiddaw Forest, a remote, exposed fell reserve. CWT lists tree planting, fencing, path maintenance, wildflower planting and non-native conifer removal. Its published rough plan includes a 9am arrival with the exact location still to be confirmed, a walk to the work site, activity with breaks and lunch, and a return walk. The source warns that the site can involve a long approach, substantial elevation gain while carrying tools and changeable weather; volunteers should be fit and well prepared. The precise meeting point is supplied closer to each date.
