A busy week for all at NL

We've got the judges in from Tourism for Tomorrow Award on Thursday so we're busy creating a schedule to show them what we're up to and why we should win this year's award!

We've been promoting a vote for Fix the Fells which could see the project winning up to 30,000 euros towards remedial work on Striding Edge and Scafell Pike. Anybody wanting to support their bid can visit the www.livefortheoutdoors.com/conservation page and register a vote for 'upland paths'. You've got until the 23rd to vote so don't delay, vote today!

We ran a really sucessful Low Carbon Tourism seminar last week. The feedback from all who attended was really positive. If you want to read what was discussed and what plans were made you can find full details on our website at http://www.nurturelakeland.org/be-car-free/seminar-march-2011.html

It's a busy time of the year for all of us so we will do our best to keep you updated on all the news at Nurture Lakeland. We're new to this blogging lark so bear with us. We're sure it will get much more interesting as the weeks go by!

This week, four conservation projects drawn from the Lake District, Snowdonia and Yorkshire Dales have been short listed for a cash award of up to 30,000 euros which would provide crucial funding and organisers are asking the public to decide on who gets the money.

Fix the Fells is a local project already working hard to protect our upland paths by funding teams of skilled craftsmen who - together with the help of volunteers - carry out essential work repairing and preventing path erosion.
The additional award would enable vital work to be carried out on Scafell Pike and Striding Edge to combat the effects of erosion.

This is a great opportunity to raise some vital cash for the project. Visit the Live for the Outdoors website to reaad more about this and VOTE for us!!!
