Look out for our stand at popular sites around Ullswater this week. We're making the most of the summer with visits to Park Foot Holiday Park, Waterside Campsite and Glencoyne Car Park. If you're visiting the area, stop by our stand to learn more about invasive species posing a threat to our lakes.

Roof gardens, cakes, and construction complications...Attention was focussed on more scrutiny of our less that perfect polytunnel construction instructions, a bit of weeding and of course, a bit of well earned R&R to tackle tea and cake. https://loom.ly/s9IHKkw #accesstoeden @heritagefunduk

We’ve been adding more sites to our Check, Clean, Dry Roadshow. We'll be taking the tour to Skyeside Campsite at Brotherswater on Friday. If you're lucky enough to be visiting this beautiful location, do stop by our stand and learn more about the threat that invasive species pose to our lakes.

What a scorcher in Penrith yesterday. Our fruit trees were thriving under the hot sun but volunteers were feeling the heat as we tackled the instructions for a new polytunnel which we hope will protect our plants and the volunteers from the vagaries of our Cumbrian climate in the coming months.
