About the PCNR Network

Update August 2023

In the past few years several key volunteers have retired from their roles, and our regular newsletter has lapsed. We are aware that your own circumstances may have also changed, since our previous review in April 2009, or from when you joined the Network, so we are taking this time to review our Network list.

We would also like to take this opportunity to find out about you, and what support you would like the group to provide. All current members should be receive a letter and survey by post by the end of August 2023 - if we have the correct permission to contact you. Potential new members are also welcome to contribute to the survey, you can complete this online: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LJ286DX

You will need to opt in, by return of this survey, if you wish to continue receiving updates from the PCNR Network.

If you do not wish to hear from the PCNR Network, you don’t need to do anything. If we do not hear from you by 30th Sept 2023 your details will be archived. *

 

Somerset’s Private & Community Nature Reserve (PCNR) Network was set up to support owners, land managers and community groups who are keen to conserve wildlife on their land. There are now around 200 members of the PCNR network. 

Together these nature reserves, owned privately and by the community, cover approximately 2000 acres of wildlife habitat. Our membership includes landowners, smallholders, and community groups such as local woodland trusts or community orchards. The land includes ponds, streams, lakes, meadows, hedgerows, orchards and woods (many of which are designated as Local Wildlife Sites), within every kind of terrain in the county. In size they range from rolling acres to the corner of a field. What we have in common is that our priority is wildlife conservation.

The PCNR provides a fantastic opportunity to share experiences and learn from like-minded individuals
