Offering a space to relax in Solihull, our Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) are havens for wildlife. From walking and talking with friends, to just spending time in your own company, the LNRs provide valuable and vibrant areas to do just that.
Designated by Natural England working with us, we are dedicated to protecting these areas of local importance. Access to the public is important for this, whilst much of the conservation work is as a result of hardworking volunteers, to which we all owe many thanks.
