Notes for editors:
There are 225 National Nature Reserves in England and they offer ideal opportunities for observing birds and wildlife.
Some operate restricted or seasonal access, so check before you travel.
National Nature Reserves were initially established to protect sensitive features and to provide ‘outdoor laboratories’ for research. Their purpose has widened since those early days and now, as well as managing some of our most pristine habitats, our rarest species and our most significant geology, most NNRs offer great opportunities to the public as well as schools and specialist audiences to experience England’s natural heritage.
If you would like more information about this event or others on your local National Nature Reserves visit www.naturalengland.org.uk

Natural England is the government’s independent adviser on the natural environment. Established in 2006 our work is focused on enhancing England’s wildlife and landscapes and maximising the benefits they bring to the public.
