Repairing and maintaining our ancient network of Lake District mountain paths is an enormous task. Many of the paths have been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Despite their age, these paths need help. The combination of millions of feet and the Lake District's weather means that erosion is a constant problem.

Fix the Fells has repaired over 200 sections of paths in the last ten years. Over the next ten years we aim to repair a further 120 paths, whilst continuing to maintain the existing network.

Our work also helps protect the local ecology and heritage. The Lake District is full of rare plant species that are vulnerable to damage when people walk on them. Preventing erosion reduces the volume of soil going into our rivers and streams and improves the water quality too

To deliver this we are looking to raise £5 million from grants, visitors and local businesses and communities. Please donate to Fix the Fells today to help protect and enhance the spectacular Lakeland landscape.
