Cumbria Wildlife Trust - Upper Eden Support Group
The Upper Eden Support Group is one of a network of groups which exist to support Cumbria Wildlife Trust in its work to conserve and protect wildlife and wild places throughout Cumbria. We run a variety of fundraising activities, and members and non-members alike are welcome to join us at any of our events. These include interesting talks in winter (held at Kirkby Stephen Grammar School; entry £2.50) & walks in summer (free but donations welcome!)
You can also visit our reserves at any time to enjoy the wildlife and a walk, or even roll up your sleeves and join a work party - a great way to meet people, get fit and, of course, help conserve and protect these environments and their wildlife.
