The village of Threlkeld, just up the A66 from Keswick, is home to Dam Mire Wood, a beautiful parcel of land at the foot of Blencathra that we acquired in 2021. In the short time we’ve owned it, the land has been transformed into a welcoming retreat for all and a haven for nature. And now we’ve decided to make it even better.
In 2023 we heard that a large field immediately next door to the wood was coming up for sale. The land was the last remaining undeveloped field at this end of Threlkeld village and had already been subject to a planning application for housing. It was clear that, if someone didn’t step in, another green space could soon be lost. We saw our chance to extend the wood and do something amazing.
Currently, the land is in a poor natural state, making it difficult for biodiversity and wildlife to thrive. It’s boggy and wet and lacking in natural diversity. There are some beautiful veteran trees on the site, but they’re all a similar age and won't be around forever. It also has no public access. But we've got some exciting plans to change all of that.
Join us at this free online event to hear about the work we've done over the years at Dam Mire, the plans we have for it in the future and how you can help us bring the dream of creating an even better and bigger haven for nature and people to life.
