Nature on the Map

Welcome to Nature on the Map

This is Natural England's interactive mapping website. In the MAPS tab you will discover a choice of maps about nature and our work, including:

Nature Reserves and Country Parks (including National and Local Nature Reserves)
Agri-environment Schemes to improve wildlife on farmland
Sites which are protected because they are special for wildlife or geological features
Wildlife habitats that are rare or threatened.

Clicking on the maps can lead you to further information about many of the features that you see.

Natural England remains committed to maintaining the Nature on the Map service. We anticipate that after April 2011 Nature on the Map’s functionality will be provided from within the Natural England website rather than as a stand-alone site. We can’t at this stage rule out the possibility of further changes but we will as always keep the user community informed.
