Poster Competition Calling all young people: what does your landscape look like? Happy birthday to us! Friends of the Lake District is 90 years old (I know, we don't look it). When we were first set up in 1934, one of the things we wanted was a National Park in Cumbria. In 1951 our campaign was successful and the Lake District National Park was created. To celebrate our birthday, we want to develop a vision for Cumbria’s landscapes for the next 90 years. But this vision should belong to the people who will love and care for this landscape in the future. So we're asking you to help us develop this vision by designing a poster to show how you would want the landscape to look. What are your hopes for the future? What would you want our beautiful landscapes to look like when you are 90 years old? You could design your poster for one place that is special to you – like the area where you live or a place in Cumbria that you like to visit. Or you could think about a vision for the future of the whole Lake District National Park or Cumbria itself. Whichever landscape you choose, think about the following questions when planning your poster: How would you like it to look in the future? Would you like more trees, flowers or wildlife? What would help you enjoy nature and the outdoors more? Better footpaths so you can explore? Or more places to swim safely? We can't wait to see your posters!
