Tucklesholme | Staffordshire Wildlife Trust
Tucklesholme is a nature reserve in the making. A former gravel pit being restored back to a wetland habitat, it provides a home for a number of key breeding bird species that specialise in this open wetland environment.

Dimminsdale | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
This reserve is well known for the spectacular display of snowdrops that appear in late winter and early spring. A visit to this special site is a must to enjoy the carpet of white that appears, giving hope that warmer times are on the way and spring is just around the corner.

Croxall Lakes | Staffordshire Wildlife Trust
Previously quarried for sand and gravel, Croxall Lakes now provides a home for a wide range of wintering and breeding birds

Brankley Pastures | Staffordshire Wildlife Trust
A long-term project to restore arable land to wildlife-rich wood pasture which once covered much of the landscape

Kelham Bridge | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
This nature reserve may be relatively young, but it is already bursting with life. Just a few miles from Ibstock and Coalville, this is the ideal place to escape the area’s industrial heritage. Birdwatching is best in the late spring. A great site for warblers, listen out in the early mornings and late evenings for the reeling of the grasshopper warbler – just like a fishing reel!

Cloud Wood | Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust
Cloud Wood has long been known as one of the best sites in Leicestershire for flora, with over 220 recorded species of ferns and flowering plants recorded! Look out for some interesting and beautiful orchids, violet helleborine, greater butterfly orchid, bee orchid and broad-leaved helleborine.
