Mountain Goat team-up benefits Lake District

Lake District tour specialist Mountain Goat is joining forces with Kendal-based charity, the Lake District Foundation.

The team-up sees them raise funds and provide peoplepower for projects that benefit the Lake District National Park.

By encouraging passenger donations, Mountain Goat aims to raise thousands of pounds to fund projects that support biodiversity, including woodland management, hedgerow planting and the creation of new reedbeds in Windermere.

The Windermere-based staff team, including many of Mountain Goats drivers, will also take part in a series of action days, volunteering to help projects supported by the Lake District Foundation.

“Being an environmentally friendly company is very important to us at Mountain Goat” – Robin Tyson, Managing Director of Mountain Goat

Robin Tyson, Managing Director of Mountain Goat, said: “We are delighted to announce our new partnership with the Lake District Foundation who continuously do outstanding work in the Lake District to sustain the area’s natural beauty. Being an environmentally friendly company is very important to us at Mountain Goat and we are so glad to begin taking strides towards actively protecting the area that we are very proud of work and live in.’’

“This is such an exciting collaboration for us” – CEO of the Lake District Foundation, Sarah Swindley

CEO of the Lake District Foundation, Sarah Swindley, said: “This is such an exciting collaboration for us. People come to the Lake District from all over the world to enjoy the spectacular beauty of the region. Many visitors want to ensure the stunning environment is protected for years to come, but don’t always know how to offer their support. Through our partnership with Mountain Goat, we can now proudly offer visitors a first-class tourist experience while giving them the opportunity to give back.”

Mountain Goat was awarded ‘Sightseeing Operator of the Year’ by UKInbound in 2023 and holds a Green Tourism Silver Award.
