National nature reserves in Cumbria

National nature reserves in England were established by English Nature, now Natural England, which manages them either directly or through non-governmental organisations such as the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds or the National Trust.

There are 25 national nature reserves in Cumbria,[1] including the large Moor House-Upper Teesdale reserve which is shared with County Durham.

All national nature reserves include all or part of a named Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Moor House-Upper Teesdale is also a Biosphere reserve.

Types of habitat

A number of the reserves are bogs (often called "moss" in local dialect), a type of habit which the European Union is keen to protect.[2] Bassenthwaite Lake, one of the largest lakes in the English Lake District, is a habitat for the Osprey.

  • Limestone pavements

Whitbarrow and Park Wood are limestone habitats.

List

gollark: <@!426660245738356738> `load` and `loadstring` both just "compile" code from a supplied string, but take mildly different arguments.
gollark: `shell.run`/`dofile`/`os.run` use load(string) internally *anyway*, you see.
gollark: As has been said, the best way to execute user supplied code if you need to for some reason is `load`/`loadstring`. With environment meddling it can even be sandboxed a bit.
gollark: <@426660245738356738> Writing it to a file and executing it is slower and stupider than using load/loadstring. Please do not do that.
gollark: Possibly not *the* one everyone talks about though.
