Much-loved south Lakes woods have been given a £5,000 boost by Kendal Town Council.
Serpentine Woods features play facilities and nature trails. The cash will help restore many of the existing features and the funding follows consultation with local schools, the Fellside Forum and Kendal Conservation Volunteers.
There will also be new visitor leaflets and a dedicated area on www.visit-kendal.co.uk, matched by updated QR codes on the entrance signs.
Chair of the town council’s environment and highways committee, Councillor Eamonn Hennessy said: “This is a good example of how local partnerships can improve facilities for residents and visitors.
“The woods are owned and managed by the district council, but we can bring additional resources and community buy-in.”
Town mayor Doug Rathbone added: “Kendal Town Council is keen to ensure there is continued investment in our parks and open spaces. We know that there will be challenges as South Lakeland and Cumbria merge their operations in a few months, and we want to make sure that our vital green areas get the resources they need.”
