Eight areas of Cambridge have been designated local nature reserves. The reserves help protect some of the best wildlife habitats in the city.
Events and guided walks are organised all year round for people to enjoy, study, and learn about nature.
Each reserve is home to a variety of animals. With meadows, woods, ponds, and more to choose from you might spot a kingfisher, grass snake, or even an otter.
Similarly there is a wide variety of plant life at the reserves: at the right time of year you might find an orchid or cranesbill in flower.
All eight reserves are maintained by us, with a great deal of help from volunteers and partner organisations such as the Wildlife Trust.
