Huge Lake District area to be turned into 'super nature reserve'

More than 7,400 acres in the Lake District have been designated as one of the first “super national nature reserves” in England.

The new super NNR will protect more than 3,000 hectares of Ennerdale. Tony Juniper, chairman of Natural England, said: “Wild Ennerdale is a diverse and varied landscape which supports some of our most unique and precious wildlife, including red squirrels, the freshwater pearl mussels that dwell in the river there and which can live for 100 years, and the Arctic charr – a fish that has hung on in the valley since the last Ice Age.

She said: “We are constantly reminded of the nature and climate crisis we face now and for the future and this announcement shows how working together and prioritising nature can reap rewards for us all.
