Conserving wild plants for the benefit of all.

Nature reserves

Plantlife has 23 nature reserves across the UK covering more than 4,500 acres (1,800 hectares) in total.

Scarce and important wild plant habitats are protected within the reserves including hay meadows, chalk grassland, limestone pavement, culm grassland and blanket bog.
At their best in the spring and summer, all of our nature reserves are open to the public. They are often in remote and beautiful parts of the country and are usually not staffed. Please check local weather conditions before travelling and ensure you are suitably equipped. Our Munsary reserve in particular is hazardous in bad weather and not for the less experienced visitor.
