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 including plants, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, invertebrates and birds.

We want to protect and enhance these special places and encourage others to do the same.

Use our interactive map to find your nearest nature reserve.
