Members of the Trust have approved the transition of the organisation to become a local support group as part of Cumbria Wildlife Trust.
What does this mean?
As a result of this change it is not possible to join the Trust as a new member but you do NOT have to be a member of CWT to join in our activities. Information on events and activities can be found on the CWT website or by signing up for the CWT newsletter.
Our temperate rainforest project continues unaltered - you can sign up for updates on this specific project via ruslandLSG@cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk. Please put rainforest in the subject of the email.
The local support group is a much simpler organisation with no formal trustees or directors. We still need volunteers to help us run our projects and to deal with some basic administration. If you want to get involved with this or find out more about our plans please contact us at ruslandLSG@cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk
What if I am an existing member?
If you are current member, your membership will continue until renewal and will then lapse. All future direct debits have been cancelled but you may also wish to cancel with your bank. There is no transfer of membership to CWT but we hope you will support this local organisation which has given us a new home. All existing RHT funds will be transfered to the new local support group and will be used solely to further education and conservation in the Rusland Valley area.
