Nature Reserves

A classic example of a type of bog that has now mostly disappeared from our landscape.

Blacka Moor is the largest and most spectacular of our nature reserves. It contains 181 hectares of breath-taking scenery and forms part of a much larger internationally important wild landscape.

A small but varied reserve nestled amongst the urban landscape.

A patchwork of flower-rich meadows, perched above the Ewden Valley.

From steel works to wetland wildlife haven.

Crabtree Ponds is Burngreave's hidden gem.

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

A recently extended patch of heathland and woodland, neighbouring Wyming Brook.

An ancient woodland, rich in wildlife and full of historic interest.

One of the few remaining areas of unimproved farmland around the moorland fringes.

A post-industrial washland on the River Don.

Majestic beech trees tower overhead in these beautiful ancient woodlands.

From post-industrial wasteland to a vital green corridor.

A scenic short-cut for people and wildlife.

A mosaic of wet and dry grasslands, swamp, wet ditches, ponds and scrub.

A little bit of wilderness on the western edge of Sheffield.
