We want to restore nature and biodiversity to this beautiful pocket of land in the Lake District.

Every donation made via the Big Give website between 22 - 29 April will be DOUBLED. That’s double the impact, double the difference. We can create an even bigger and better home for nature and people at Dam Mire Wood, all whilst protecting it from development.

We aim to:

  • restore nature
  • improve access
  • slow the flow of water
  • create a space of tranquillity

How you can help

Visit our website to learn more about Dam Mire Wood and our plans for it.

Save and share the date: midday 22 April – midday 29 April

To make a donation, and see it DOUBLED, please visit your Big Give page right here.

You can also Gift Aid your donation, making your donation go further, with no extra cost to you!
