A Wilder Barrow
Colourful wildflowers, busy bees, and a chorus of birdsong providing a backdrop to community spaces - Can you imagine Barrow buzzing with life?
Cumbria Wildlife Trust wants to help transform unloved and underused spaces into something that brings life and colour into communities.
We want to know the places in your community that could do with a little tender loving care and that will make a real difference to the people in your area. We also want to know what you’d like to see happen there.
We’re looking for projects that:
- Improve community spaces
- Create new or improved green spaces in urban areas
- Benefit local people in Barrow
If you have a community space that could be turned into a little oasis for wildlife and people, please let us know by completing the form below. Be creative and think about school grounds, roadside verges, sports fields, land near community centres, churchyards, paths and borders. We welcome any suggestions you have.
Your responses will help us plan our work in Barrow over the next few years. We can’t promise to support all projects, but we do promise to consider them all and we'll still get in touch to see if we can offer other advice or support.
The Earnse Project is a partnership between Natural England, Westmorland and Furness Council, Cumbria Wildlife Trust and Art Gene. The project has been awarded initial funding by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to develop a 5-year project enabling people to connect with, learn about and enjoy our local natural heritage.
