Commercial photography
As a small local charity we don't receive any direct government funding and rely on the support of our members to make our work possible. Taking care of our nature reserves takes a lot of resource and time, so for photographers taking images for commercial purposes, we ask that you consider the following:
- You send us your images for us to use (with full credit, of course) via the share links above.
- Full credit is given to the location in which your photographs were taken.
- You consider a donation to the Trust of your profits to help us continue to look after these wild places.
Private Events
You may not hold your own private events on LWT land without seeking prior permission. This includes guided walks and wildlife ID courses. Please contact us for more information regarding this should you have a query on info@lancswt.org.uk.
Thank you!
We'd like to say a huge thank you to the supportive photographers who let us use their images on our website, in Lapwing magazine and on our social media pages.
