THE GREAT OUTDOORS
After a stormy year, it is time to reset and reconnect with family and friends and what better way than with the greatest healer of all… nature. We are blessed to live in a wonderful area with hidden gems all around us and some 17 Local Nature Reserves cover an area of more than 550ha – that’s triple the minimum recommended standard set by Natural England. It means we all have access to green spaces just minutes from our homes. Nature reserves are ecological havens and vital spaces for conservation as well as wonderful places to connect with wildlife, take part in unique events and immerse yourself in nature. Reset and reconnect with nature
What is a Local Nature Reserve (LNR)? An LNR is a protected area where wildlife – plants and animals, are left undisturbed. They may also protect geological features or other special interests. Reserves can also provide special opportunities for study or research.
