Nature Reserves

Amwell entrance signHerts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust manages more than forty reserves across two counties, including some of the best wildlife sites in the UK. These nature reserves cover the wonderful diversity of our landscape, from woodland to grassland, wetland, and heathland. Each reserve is home to a fantastic array of wildlife, supporting a range of species such as plants, mammal, amphibians, reptiles, invertebrate and birds.

Our nature reserves play a huge role in so many people’s lives. They are a key focus of our work and are living examples of what we as a trust are aiming to achieve. A key aim of Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust is to protect these special places and encourage others to do the same.

Many people don’t realise what they have until its gone, be proud of your local nature reserves and help us to help protect your local wildlife for generations to come!
