Where The Wild Things Really Are!

And of course Wildlife Trust nature reserves are where the wild things really are! The Wildlife Trusts look after more than 2,250 nature reserves around the UK so there's probably one quite near your house. Woods, wildflower meadows, lakes, rivers, moors and marshes - they are th eperfect place for your very own wild and magical adventure!

These nature reserves are home to thousands of different animals and plants - from dormice to daffodils and from moths to mighty oak trees. And May and June are one of the best times of year to visit a nature reserve - the birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, the butterflies are fluttering, the flowers are in bloom and the trees are in leaf - and there's wild things to see wherever you look.
