Conservation
National Nature Reserves
Nature Reserves are areas of importance for their flora,
fauna, geological or other features of special interest. The
Environment and Heritage Service declares these sites under
the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands Order 1985. To date
47 National Nature Reserves have been declared, 8 of which
are Peatland sites.
Nature Reserves are often owned by the Environment and Heritage
Service, and as such access is possible to some of the sites.
