What is a Local Nature Reserve (LNR)? An LNR is a protected area where wildlife are left undisturbed. They may also protect geological features or other special interests. Reserves can also provide special opportunities for study or research.
Many of Telford’s Local Nature Reserves voluntary and ‘friends of’ groups host some fantastic events from guided walks to talks and courses and family fun days – find out more by signing up for local newsletters and social channels.

“
Green spaces are so valuable, not only in helping us address the climate emergency, but
also because they also offer huge benefits to physical and mental health. As we recover from the legacy of the Covid-19 pandemic, our enhanced green spaces help us look forward to the brighter times that lie ahead.” Cllr Carolyn Healey Cabinet member for Visitor Economy, Historic and Natural Environment and Climate Change
