Abstract

Local authorities in Great Britain have had the powers to acquire, declare and manage statutory Local Nature Reserves since 1949; these powers were extended to Northern Ireland in 1985. As of March 1997, there are some 564 Local Nature Reserves in England, three in Northern Ireland, 24 in Scotland and 38 in Wales. Local Nature Reserves are important for biodiversity and nature conservation at a local level and can have a special role for local schools. The overall situation in respect of Local Nature Reserves has been recently reviewed by the Urban Forum of the UK Man and the Biosphere Committee. This review will add impetus and purpose to the wide variety of programmesand projects involving Local Nature Reserves. It will add emphasis to their potential not only for nature conservation and environmental education but also for community development.
