What Are Local Nature Reserves?

Local Nature Reserve (LNR) is a statutory designation made under Section 21 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 by principal local authorities (County and District Councils).

Local Nature Reserves are places with wildlife or geological features which are of special interest locally. They offer people opportunities to learn about nature or simply to enjoy it.
