Discover, learn about and enjoy the landscapes and environments that make Cumbria a special place.  At Friends of the Lake District we hope to inspire and inform people of all ages to find out about, explore and connect and help look after the living landscape.

Schools
Our schools work is mainly delivered through two projects: Flora of the Fells and Our Green Space

In our education activities we often work with other environmental organisations and communities. We are also part of the Cumbria Education 21 Group, a network of organisations working in Cumbria on sustainable and environmental education.

Advice and grants are available to help you improve your school grounds for things like wildlife gardens and to develop an outdoor classroom.
See our Environmental Improvement Grant scheme page.
We are always happy for any of our land to be used by schools for learning.
