Fixing the Lake District Fells
Our mission is to protect our spectacular Lakeland fells from erosion by repairing and maintaining the upland paths.
The Lake District is perhaps Britain’s best-loved landscape. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site – a place worth protecting. But erosion from people, coupled with severe weather events and climate change, is causing ugly scars and environmental damage in the fragile mountains. Fix the Fells tackles this erosion problem by repairing and maintaining 344 upland paths, covering 410 miles (661 km), helping to keep the Lake District a special place for us and for future generations. The Fix the Fells is a partnership project between us, National Trust, Lake District National Park, Natural England and Friends of the Lake District.

Thank You, Calisen Impact Charitable Trust
Fix the Fells works tirelessly to repair and maintain 350km of upland paths, battling erosion caused by heavy footfall and extreme weather. Their 17 rangers shift 30 tonnes of rock and soil by hand each year, protecting paths, preventing soil from washing into lakes, and preserving this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Thanks to Calisen Impact Charitable Trust’s £15,000 donation, they can continue this vital work—keeping routes safe, nature thriving and heritage accessible for future generations. Calisen’s commitment to sustainability and community impact makes them a perfect partner, and we’re excited to work together on more projects.
Thank you, Calisen Impact Charitable Trust!
