We’re providing funding to the South Cumbria Rivers Trust to enable crucial restoration projects and filtration projects at Windermere - such as planting over 800m2 of new reed beds.

These act as natural filters, trapping sediment before it reaches the mere, to improve water quality and boost biodiversity for the whole catchment:

Providing healthier natural habitats for aquatic life
Ensuring the long-term maintenance of the mere’s water quality
Engaging communities through volunteering opportunities
