Local Nature Reserves - Scotland
lnatr
Local nature reserves are areas of (at least) locally important natural heritage, designated and managed by local authorities to give people better opportunities to learn about and enjoy nature close to where they live. They are found across the country, but generally close to towns and cities. More details are available here: https://www.nature.scot/professional-advice/protected-areas-and-species/protected-areas/local-designations/local-nature-reserves Where we have not been supplied with data by local authorities we are extracting it from a previously produced NatureScot national dataset.
