About Matthew Allmark

I’ve been the assistant ranger for Hawkshead and Claife for nearly twelve months now but I've been a visitor to the lakes for the last 30 years. Climbing the fells and canoeing the lakes, I’m sure, set the foundations for me wanting to work in the countryside. I have spent a number of years volunteering for National Trust and have worked for zoos and Wildlife Trusts, so I have a keen interest in wildlife and conservation. I have also spent too many years as a tree surgeon, so I’m also very keen on my trees!
