Today, Wednesday 18 August, marks the 20th anniversary of Fix the Fells, the organisation set up to protect the landscape and wildlife in the Lake District mountains. Two decades on, Fix the Fells work is needed more than ever, says National Trust.

A very productive and fun couple of days were had recently by ERDF volunteer coordinator Rob and the Fix the Fells volunteers, working on the extremely popular Brown Tongue path.

Fix the Fells has had a flying start to 2021 with Rangers and Volunteers now active all over the Lake District, repairing erosion and maintaining the upland path network.

Work is underway to repair paths and prevent damage to the landscape on Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain, which is climbed by more than 250,000 people every year.
