A five-month project is set to begin in May to improve railway safety in the Oxenholme area, by cutting back trees, bushes and other vegetation near the tracks.
Last year, around 1,000 trains collided with fallen trees or large branches nationwide, and each year there are "many more" instances of trees and branches blocking or closing lines.
The upcoming work will take place from May to September in the Oxenholme area, and north of Carnforth to Natland.
An information event's being held for local people on the 15th of March between 4pm and 7pm at The Station Inn.
A spokesperson for Network Rail said: “We encourage our lineside neighbours to come along to understand the work we are doing and any impact it will have on them.
“Our project team will be there to answer any questions from residents and address any concerns they may have.
“Vegetation management is an essential part of railway maintenance and this work is crucial to keeping both trains and passengers safe on the network.”
