Our Reserves
We manage over 50 wildlife reserves across the two counties - many of our most important places for wildlife. That means that you are never more than 8 miles from a Trust reserve!
Many of our wildlife reserves are of national or even international importance for biodiversity, making them a high priority for careful and sensitive management. Most of them are great places for people to visit as well. We organise over 200 events a year on our reserves - everything from guided walks to family activity days.
Managing these special places is part of achieving our vision of Living Landscapes.
Of course we cannot manage all the land that is important for wildlife. So we give advice and help to others, from farmers and landowners to people looking to make their own garden more wildlife-friendly.
Find your way there by SatNav
Our reserve descriptions include maps and information on how to get there. To make things even easier, we have set up POIs (Points of Interest) for some of our larger reserves, which you can download into a satnav.
Download to your computer, the files which contain the POI definitions for Garmin and TomTom satnavs and the small logo which will show where the reserve is. To download these files, right click on the links above and choose Save Target As ... (or similar).
You will need to consult the satnav manual to find out how to load the POIs (HIWWT_reserves.ov2 for TomToms or HIWWT_reserves.csv for Garmins) and the logo (HIWWT_reserves.bmp) onto the satnav device.
