We no longer look after this nature reserve.
To ensure that we continue to have the biggest possible impact for nature’s recovery, we focus our work on nature reserves and the wider landscape inside Nature Recovery Zones.
The selection of Nature Recovery Zones is guided by our Nature Recovery Network, which shows us where wildlife-rich areas currently are, as well as where the most significant opportunities exist for delivering nature’s recovery at scale. In a few locations we have entrusted like-minded partners with the management of a small number of nature reserves to enable GWT to prioritise our work elsewhere.
For Wildlife Trusts, nature reserves will always be a cornerstone of delivering nature’s recovery. However some nature reserves are too small to ensure the long-term survival of the species for which these nature reserves were granted protection. This is where Nature Recovery Zones come in. It’s an approach that means both maintaining nature reserves in a favourable condition as well as working closely with neighbouring landowners to create much larger wildlife-rich areas. This helps to ‘connect up’ large areas for wildlife and effectively creating ‘super reserves’.
This move will significantly increase our ability to deliver the ‘bigger, better and more joined up’ approach.
