Reserves Information

We have 40 PNRs in and around Radnorshire covering around 500 acres.

Heights range from 180 to 450 meters above sea level.

Members have been managing their land for anything up to 30 years. Many, however, are relative novices.

Approximately half our members have woodland. Other habitat types include, ponds, streams, unimproved permanent pasture and traditional hay meadows. Some of us own land which is included in a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The majority of our members let out grazing to a neighbouring farmer. Some do have their own grazing animals including local rare breed sheep and traditional cattle.

Species benefiting from our Management include barn owls, hares, dormice, great crested newts, otters, and lampreys. Flora include smooth brome, common spotted orchids, harebells, pignut, betony and sneezewort.
