#SkiddawForest
Some of our favourite bits this year (totally unplanned and candid, of course 😄). #SkiddawForest, ospreys, landscape restoration and volunteers, volunteers, volunteers!

However you've supported our work this year, thank you so much. We wouldn't be able to achieve what we do without your help 💚

Meet Pete! He's our new #SkiddawForest Project Manager, but not a new face – Pete previously worked with us for 12 years as our Southern Reserves Officer. So you could say this is a...Pete restoration (thank you, we'll see ourselves out).

Had an excellent morning visiting the open prison at #HMPHaverigg. Staff are fantastic & the prisoner rehab activities are very impressive e.g. training, horticulture, woodworking etc Really positive atmosphere. I hope they'll be growing lots of trees for #SkiddawForest #CumbriaWildlifeTrust
