Save Our Lake District

We have today announced the launch of a campaign to ‘Save Our Lake District’ (SOLD). In a statement issued today we explain why.

Save Our Lake District (SOLD)

The Lake District is increasingly threatened by commercial developments which will damage its unique, protected and much-loved landscapes. Your National Park is under siege and appears open to be exploited for commercial gain whilst the statutory protection for its fragile beauty is being ignored. This must stop.

Join Today

Play your part in protecting this beautiful place by becoming a member today. Select your membership type and help us to look after our spectacular landscape.

Volunteering

Learn new skills and join our army of volunteers helping us to make a practical difference to the Lake District all year round.
