Commercial Opportunities

Lancashire Wildlife Enterprises ltd (LWEL), was established as our trading subsidiary in 2010 to run commercial activities to generate income for our charitable purposes. 

We are now looking to work with local businesses on a number of new revenue generating opportunities that will add to Lancashire Wildlife Trust’s existing visitor experience and identity, increase our exposure in the area, and which can help us attract more people to our sites in order to connect them with nature and provide a positive experience in the outdoors.
