Dozens of volunteers have been busy in the Lake District National Park supporting communities and making sure visitors make the most of their trip as lockdown restrictions ease. 75 new visitor welcome volunteers, recruited by the Lake District National Park Authority, have been giving advice about travel, the best fell walks, how to keep the park litter-free and saying ‘hello’ to visitors. Chris Wingrove, volunteer team leader with the Lake District National Park Authority said: “We were delighted to welcome our new recruits onto their first shifts during the Easter holidays – there’s already been positive feedback from visitors and our local communities. It’s great that the volunteers themselves are thoroughly enjoying their new roles; if you see them when you’re out and about please do say hello.”
