Somerset’s Private & Community Nature Reserves (PCNR) Network was set up in the 1990s to support people who own or manage land primarily for nature.
This user-led network provides peer-to-peer support for landowners, smallholders and community groups (such as local woodland trusts and community orchards). You can find support even if it's to create a mini-reserve in your own garden!
Collectively, we manage land throughout Somerset that supports meadows, hedgerows, orchards, and woodlands, ponds, streams and lakes, many of which are designated as Local Wildlife Sites. What we have in common is that our priority is nature conservation.
The PCNR Network is hosted and supported by Somerset Wildlife Trust (SWT), who recognise our important contribution to nature conservation and recovery in Somerset. The network is currently free to join, although membership of Somerset Wildlife Trust is encouraged.
