For those of you with dogs, the Lake District has long been a favourite destination.

Did you know that wetlands are one of the world's most biodiverse habitats? In fact, they provide homes for many species and larger wetlands, such as RSPB Leighton Moss, act as a vital stopover for millions of migratory birds in need of rest and to refuel.

This year marks 100 years of the Matson Ground Estate Company Limited and what better way to honour this milestone than with a big party - a chance for the whole Matson Ground community to get together and celebrate.

Every September, historic buildings and monuments across the country throw open their doors to the public as part of Heritage Open Days.

Moths are not only essential pollinators and a vital food source for birds and bats, they are also a great indicator of habitat health, which is why we carry out a moth survey every year at Matson Ground.

We recently welcomed students from a local school to help coop and plant out trees on the Matson Ground Estate.

The last week or so has been pretty chilly to say the least, leaving the Lake District covered in a blanket of snow and ice.

It's November and Autumn has announced its arrival in the Lake District in spectacular style.

The clocks have gone back which means the nights are drawing in and the days are getting colder.
