Join Lee Schofield, Nature Recovery Lead, to discover how farmers and land managers are working together to create a major wildlife corridor between Penrith and Kendal.

About the talk

The Penrith2Kendal Landscape Recovery Project is one of the largest and most ambitious nature and farming initiatives in the country.

Through a partnership involving 39 farmers and land managers, the project aims to create a 150-square-kilometre corridor for wildlife between Penrith and Kendal. Over the next 20 years, they will work together to support nature recovery alongside a thriving and resilient farming landscape.

Lee will introduce the Penrith2Kendal Arc, explain how this pioneering partnership will work and explore what landscape-scale recovery could mean for nature, farming and the communities within the project area.
