What’s on the Common Project

Cumbria Wildlife Trust is looking for sightings and information about Lowick Common.

Do you visit the Common and see wildlife and other interesting things? Do you know things about the history of the site? Then we want to hear from you.

Cumbria Wildlife Trust is starting a mapping project on Lowick Common, and wants to hear about sightings, points of interest, and bits of history about the site. These will go onto a computer-based map, which will allow us to see more information about what is, and has been, on Lowick Common.

How to send a submission

Sending a submission is easy. All you need to do is have a grid reference or What3Words location for your sighting or point of interest and email it to lowick@cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk.
