	Local Nature Reserve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Local Nature Reserve or LNR is a statutory designation in England made under Section 21 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 by principal local authorities.
		To establish a LNR the declaring local authority must first have a legal interest in the land concerned, for example, they could own it, lease it or have a nature reserve agreement with the owner.
		LNRs are almost always owned by local authorities, who often pass the management of the LNR onto County Wildlife trusts or other local environmental bodies.

	Hurst Parish Council - Local Nature Reserve
		Local Nature Reserve (or LNR) is a statutory designation made under Section 21 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 by principal local authorities.

		Indeed, LNRs are used extensively by schools and LNR managers should seek the involvement of the local education authority so that the full potential of the LNR for education is realised.
