Who we are

  • Centre for Ecology and Hydrology
  • Environment Agency
  • Forestry Commission
  • Freshwater Biological Assocation
  • Lake District National Park Authority
  • National Trust

Our annual meeting

Every year the LDWSP convenes a liaison meeting to inform the wider community of events and issues that impact the waters of the Lake District.

The seventh Annual Liaison Meetings was held on 26th February 2010, having been postponed from November 2009 due to flooding in the region. The theme was: Implementing the Water Framework Directive.
