Most people live within a few miles of a Wildlife Trust nature reserve. From ancient woodlands to meadows and wetlands, they’re just waiting to be explored.
One of the first things I ever spotted on my first visit to the South Lakes was Whitbarrow Scar.
Sphagnum, sundew and other unusual plants create a colourful carpet on this raised mire. Rich in invertebrate life myriads of butterflies, moths, dragonflies and damselflies are seen.
One of our volunteers, Paul Whitaker, has picked out some of our reserves that are accessible by public transport and highlighted them in his blog below. So hop aboard and come visit to enjoy…
