Volunteer alongside our rangers and learn a bit more about our woodland management work in Great Wood. Coppicing is an ancient woodland management technique that was once used to ensure regular supplies of timber and firewood. Today, we use it in many of the places we care for to create a range of habitats for plants and wildlife, dramatically increasing the diversity of species that thrive in these areas.

You can also help with fencing if required in certain areas to help keep grazing animals out of the woodlands.

Come and enjoy a day out in the Borrowdale Rainforest National Nature Reserve to help us with coppicing and take home some wood for gardening stakes, firewood or whatever you like.

Community coppicing days

Paddleboards – the very best way to experience Derwentwater, The ‘Queen of the Lakes’. No experience needed, a qualified instructor will take you out on the water and teach you all the basics and then you can enjoy freedom to explore more of Derwentwater towards the end of the session. We’ll provide all the equipment you need – even a wetsuit – and all from Crow Park, walking distance from Keswick market square.

Brought to you by the National Trust and Mobile Adventure, an opportunity to get out on the lake and maybe try something new.
