Rooted in Cumbria

The Federation of Cumbria Commoners is a member-led organisation dedicated to promoting commoning in Cumbria. Our overall aim is to maintain and improve the viability of hill farming on common land.

We want this website to:

  • Inform you about new issues in commoning
  • Let you know what we are doing
  • Make our voice heard all over the world and much more

Commoners are showing an interest to join a Commons Council

It's the AGM season for many commoners' associations and we are hearing back from the Chairmen.

So far Derwent, Kinniside, Moorhouse, Eskdale and West Mallerstang commoners' associations have confirmed their expression of interest to be part of a Commons Council.

That's great news and we'll keep updating the list.

If anyone wants more information about commons councils, please get in touch.
