Cumbria Wildlife Trust<\/a> is looking for people to help tell the story of the Lake District’s high fells and bring alive the history of the iconic landscape and its wildlife.<\/p>\n

The Trust is exploring the changes to our landscape through the High Fells.<\/p>\n

The Cumbria Landscape Story project will be recording the memories of those of people who have lived and worked in the area since World War Two.<\/p>\n

Funded by Heritage Lottery Fund<\/a>, the project is looking for people to interview from all walks of life – from hill farmers, landowners, game keepers and graziers to former rangers, foresters, dry-stone wallers, naturalists, fell walkers, runners, local artists or simply people who have lived in the area for the last 50 to 60 years.<\/p>\n

High Fell project officer Sarah Johnson said: “Everyone has a unique story and experiences to share. People’ s memories of everyday events are just as important as historical documents and books in telling us about how the landscape and its wildlife has changed.<\/p>\n

The recordings will be used to create a series of podcasts to complement walks in the high fells area.<\/p>\n

The podcasts will also be available on an interactive website alongside excerpts from other recorded interviews and imagery reflecting the landscape changes.<\/p>\n

A countywide exhibition of the project’s findings is planned for next year.<\/p>\n

Sarah continued,” The history of the high fells is all around us, in local people’ s living memories and experiences. The first-hand accounts of people who’ve lived and worked in the Lake District are vital to understanding how the changes have influenced the landscape, wildlife and people’ s way of life.”<\/p>\n
