SNH Reserve management documents

For NNRs managed by SNH we develop a suite of documents:

• The Reserve Story - An introduction to the natural heritage, historical interest, past management and designations which protect the NNR.
• The Reserve Proposals - This sets out our goals for the NNR and gives an overview of the management we feel is necessary to achieve those goals. The proposals form the basis of a public consultation.
• Consultation Report – During the consultation, local authorities, local communities, adjacent land managers and others will be asked for their views. We welcome comments on the proposals and suggestions on how we can improve our management of the NNR for the benefit of both wildlife and people. Once the consultation is complete a report will be written summarising the views expressed and our response to these.
• The Reserve Plan - This is the final step of the planning process and sets out a programme for managing the NNR. It is based on the proposals but will take into consideration the comments received during the consultation.
• The Reserve Review - This is a report on the management and monitoring which has taken place on the Reserve during the last planning cycle.
