| To find out if there are Local
Nature Reserves (LNRs) in your area and who manages them, contact
your local council (try the Countryside Section or Leisure Services
Department). Your local Natural England office will also be able to help.
Alternatively, use the LNR search facility. |
|
| Many LNRs have 'Friends of' groups,
who carry out practical work on the reserves. Some local groups of the BTCV may
also get involved. Contact them to find what they do in your area. |
|
| Volunteers like
'Friends of' groups also get involved in things like fund raising events and
open days. |
|
| You may find that your
local council ranger service manages the reserve and takes on volunteers to
help out with LNR site management. They may be able to offer you training as
well. |
|
| LNRs are ideal places
to learn about and study wildlife. If you are a teacher or run youth groups or
summer activity programmes, for example, why not find out what your local
LNR can offer you? |
|
| If you know of an
area of land which you think might make a good LNR, get in touch with your local
council, Wildlife Trust or Natural England office. Local Councillors are often
happy to help as well. The more you can tell them about the land, the better,
so gather some background information first.
