Local Nature Reserve awarded
Plantsbrook Local Nature Reserve has a number of pools, surrounded by fringes of woodland, wetlands and a wildflower meadow, making it an oasis for wildlife.
A large proportion of the 26 acre site is open water. The site lies on the Plantsbrook wildlife corridor, as does the nearby Hall Valley Country Park.
Plantsbrook was purchased by the city and saved from development. It was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 1991.
