Kay Andrews, landscape engagement officer, said: "Coniston is a beautiful and much-loved Lake District valley.

"We’re inviting people of all ages and abilities to come and spend a day helping us to look after it, doing something really worthwhile for the Cumbrian landscape.

"We can’t guarantee the weather but we promise fresh air, fun, friends, feel-good factor and cake."
