Flora of the Fells Fell Care Days - Autumn 2012
Following the great success of our 2011 Flora of the Fells 'Fell Care Days' we will be running two more 'Fell Care Days' this autumn. At the Helvellyn and Ennerdale Fell Care Days in September and October 2011 we had a great turn out by 200 volunteers, 4 schools, 11 teachers, 130 children, 33 organisations and staff who who undertook 145 days of work on the fells in just two days. Professional photographer Rob Grange gave a day of his time to make a short film about the Ennerdale Fell Care day which you can see here.

The aim of the Fell Care Days is to highlight the huge role that volunteering plays in conserving and managing the fells and raise awareness of the benefits which the fells provide for us all in terms of clean drinking water, flood control, food, fuel, jobs, recreation, landscape, biodiversity, inspiration, health and well being.

The Fell Care Days will involve a range of practical conservation tasks which groups or members of the public can join in and we're also planning educational activities for local schools. More details will be posted here later in the year.
