Discover How Gloucestershire Is Managed

 

Gloucestershire is lucky enough to have a wealth of different habitats across the Forest of Dean, Severn Vale and the Cotswolds, each of these being home to numerous different species.

We manage nearly 2000 acres of our own land in the form of 60 nature reserves. These are areas of wildlife-rich habitat which are actively managed to promote and sustain the species which live there.

Most nature reserves are open to the public for free all year round and we offer a programme of events and activities on some of these sites.

We also advise other land owners on wildlife friendly land management through our Living Landscapes approach.

In Gloucestershire there are also numerous other organisations who manage land for wildlife in Key Wildlife Sites, National Nature Reserves, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and other European or Internationally designated sites.
