ABOUT US

For more than a decade, Transition Wilmslow have been campaigning to raise awareness of this extraordinary landscape, its importance for climate change and biodiversity and its contribution to our shared heritage.

The Lindow Moss Landscape Partnership is a collective of community organisations, landowners, relevant Local Authorities, academics and charitable organisations that are committed to working together in order to conserve, restore and interpret the wider Lindow Moss Landscape for the benefit of nature, the climate and people.

A ‘bottom-up’ partnership driven by the local community, the Lindow Moss Landscape Partnership is led by the Wilmslow Town Council’s Neighbourhood Plan Implementation Group and consists of Transition Wilmslow, the Friends of Lindow Moss, the parish councils of Wilmslow, Chorley, Mobberley and Great Warford, Cheshire East Council, Cheshire Wildlife Trust, Mersey Rivers Trust, Natural England and Groundwork.

There is strong support from specialists in prehistory, ecology and peatland restoration at Manchester University, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester Museum and the British Museum. Wilmslow Historical Society, Wilmslow Civic Trust and the Wilmslow Guild for Lifelong Learning are also all actively involved.

Our 10 year plan looks forward to 2035 and outlines the actions we believe are needed in order to achieve our vision of a ‘landscape in recovery – for nature, for the climate and for our citizens’. We have 6 clear aims that underpin our vision and you can read about them here.

The Friends of Lindow Moss is an inclusive group that fosters community, public interest and participation to:

Protect, restore and enhance the nature (biodiversity and ecosystem processes) of Lindow Moss
Conserve the diverse cultural heritage of Lindow Moss
Advocate Lindow Moss as an educational resource and to increase understanding and practical experiences of its diverse values
Promote the benefits that Lindow Moss can have for public health and wellbeing
Maintain and balance the unique atmosphere, features and qualities of Lindow Moss

We welcome new members to the group, whether you want to play an active role or simply want to be kept up to date with developments on Lindow Moss.
