The Local Nature Reserves (LNR’s) in Cambridge
are for both people and wildlife. The designation of these reserves
helps to protect some of the best wildlife habitats and geographical
features across the City, whilst making an important contribution
to the UK’s biodiversity. The reserves provide an opportunity
for people to study, learn about and enjoy nature on their doorstep.
