Hundreds of Water Voles have returned to the Lake District thanks to a collaborative effort by Eden Rivers Trust, the Environment Agency and Cumbria Connect. The release of 365 Water Voles at the RSPB nature reserve at Haweswater – a site managed in partnership with United Utilities – and Lowther Estate marks a major milestone in restoring a species that had dwindled due to habitat loss, pollution and invasive American Mink.
