Urswick Tarn
Urswick Tarn is now under the management of Urswick Parish Council.
In line with the good work carried out over numerous years by Urswick Tarn Association, we will be working closely in the coming months with the Environment Agency, Cumbria Wildlife Trust, and the Parish Residents to ensure we find the right balance to:
- Protect and maintain the Tarn
- Protect and encourage wildlife
- Provide a valuable amenity for people to use
As we progress on this journey we will update you as to how you can help, and become involved in the management of this very unique asset
