Devon Reserves and Other Sites
Introduction
There are two lists available from this page. The first is a list of Reserves that are owned and / or managed by DBWPS. The second is a list of Other Devon Sites that have a significance for birdwatching and / or conservation.
This is a new section of the website and considerable time has been spent in developing background information about each of the sites. However, as more and more people contribute information, about habitat, facilities, access and species, this will be added.
We welcome input from everyone. Please attempt to make information as accurate as possible, particularly grid references, so that this section can be of maximum benefit to both members and visitors to Devon. Thank you.
