Join the campaign to stop Treetop Trek’s proposal to string multiple zip wires across the Thirlmere valley in the heart of the Lake District National Park.


Help us protect this special environment from an activity which will damage the natural beauty of this landscape, detract from the peace and tranquility of this beautiful valley and impose a significant human footprint across the place which ‘helped launch the environmental movement as we know it.’ (The Dawn of Green: Manchester, Thirlmere and Modern Environmentalism. [Ritvo, Harriet]).

On this website you will find full details of what the proposal is, why so many people, both locally and nationally, object to it and what you can do to get involved in the campaign to stop it becoming a reality. Be assured that if we do nothing this will happen. Make sure it doesn’t and join the campaign today.

Zip Off: Lakes Watch

Has anyone seen the plot as the Lake District National Park Authority seems to have lost it? If found please return it to Murley Moss asap!

The path was damaged by Storm Desmond - now, instead of restoring it there are plans to tarmac it:

Britain’s national parks ‘risk losing UN nature reserve status’ because wildlife dying out so fast

It seems more than careless...perhaps too much focus on festooning the hillsides with zip wires and gondolas...and not enough on caring for what should be on the fells!
