Funding Conservation through Tourism

Sculpted over thousands of years by nature and by Man, the Lake District is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt places in Britain. But the ravages of time, the Lakeland weather and the many visitors can all take their toll on this fragile environment.

At Milburn Grange we’re helping to care for this living landscape by raising funds through our guests to help support woodland enhancement work at Dufton Ghyll.

Your donation will help to enhance public access on the 1500 metres of footpaths that cross the woodland and conserve rare flora found within the stream and river habitats.

Additional work includes enhancing the exposures of St Bees sandstone within the woodland and improving the tree structure by removing non-natives and replacing them with native saplings such as oak.

How you can help
On each Booking Confirmation/Invoice we add a voluntary £1 donation, per adult, towards this vital work. If the guest is not happy to have this amount included then s/he is invited to tick the ‘Opt out’ box and the sum is deducted from the bill.

Monies raised by us are passed to The Tourism and Conservation Partnership who manage the funds generated through this and similar schemes with many other hotels, guest houses and self catering operators.

We do hope that you will support us and play your part in safeguarding the future of this magnificent landscape.

Please use the donation form to make your personal contribution to this woodland project.
