Montane: Why we’re donating to Fix the Fells this Black Friday
Fixing the Lake District Fells
The Lake District is perhaps Britain’s best-loved landscape. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site – a place worth protecting. But erosion from people, coupled with severe weather events and climate change, is causing ugly scars and environmental damage in the fragile mountains. Fix the Fells tackles this erosion problem by repairing and maintaining 344 upland paths, covering 410 miles (661 km), helping to keep the Lake District a special place for us and for future generations.
If you love the Lake District, please help us to Fix the Fells.
We rely on your generous donations.
Make a donation and be a part of the solution. 100% of your donation goes towards fixing the Lake District fells.
The People Fixing the Fells
Rangers
Four teams of highly skilled National Trust rangers work on the fells in all weathers. Our rangers are highly skilled and lead teams building sustainable paths and recreating a natural landscape.
Volunteers
Volunteers are a key part of Fix the Fells. We have around 100 volunteers who come from Cumbria and beyond, with one thing in common; they all love the Lake District fells!

What we do
Repairing and maintaining our ancient network of mountain paths, many of which have been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Despite their age, these paths need help.
