Local Nature Reserves (LNR’s) are
designated areas that are important for both biodiversity and local
communities.
These are valuable
resources that give people the chance to experience the natural
world on their doorstep. They provide an ideal opportunity to
study and learn about nature or simply to enjoy it.
In recent years, many
habitats and species in the UK have come under threat and LNR’s
make an important contribution in helping to protect and enhance
the UK’s biodiversity. As the designation of an LNR is a
statutory declaration, they are a very clear signal of our
commitment to nature conservation.
Currently the Council
manages five LNR’s across the district. Further details
about these sites can be found by following the links below.
