Tucked away at the eastern edge of the Lake District National Park, RSPB
Haweswater is being transformed. Together with landowner United Utilities we’re restoring a landscape of colourful wildflower meadows, meandering rivers, rich woodlands and healthy, wet bogs – with benefits for nature and people.
