About Leader's landscape training:

Landscape is our support system without which we could not exist.

Everyone depends on landscape for food, water, fuel and clean air.

A beautiful and diverse landscape with a wealth of wildlife and human history inspires and enriches our lives and provides a ‘natural health service’ for mind and body. But our fragile landscapes are under threat as never before, not least from climate change, and our challenge is to understand, support and enhance them.

Leader’s Landscape Training is aimed at outdoor practitioners to help deepen your understanding of Cumbria’s landscapes and enable you to pass on your new-found knowledge to those with whom you work.

Workshop detail:

Peat in the fells presents a particular challenge. Its importance these days as a carbon store and ecological habitat is well recognised, but it is extremely fragile and vulnerable to trampling. Where paths cross deep peat, it presents particular problems and challenges.

The purpose of this session will be to look at the complex issues of access and peat. The going can be very wet underfoot!

Activity grade: Moderate/strenuous.
