Had a pub discussion this afternoon and we talked about a piece of land that some of us own and want to keep as it is wild,not unkempt or overgrown but natural.
you would not want or would be allowed to build on it anyway as its in the middle of agricultural land but we discussed what if`s and got to the nature reserve idea from a farmer who let the local council use his grazing as a reserve,
Effectively making it a formality to remove those with caravans and milk churns that may want to pitch up,while still using the land himself,cunning chap.
So once a bit of land is deemed a nature reserve for what ever reason,which is by all accounts quite easy if it meets criteria,is it possible to revoke that status in the future?
There is no fear of invasion unless they cut down about 500 trees.
Some of us believe that it is infinite,some say that its up to the land owner to change its status.

P.S. does anyone actually know why they always have milk churns?

Stainless steel "churns" are used for storing fresh water

<Asks SWMBO> Assuming England ... for an area to become a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) it has to be proposed by English Nature and then the local council has to approve it.

Likewise for removing LNR status - both English Nature and the council have to agree.

Pedant mode on - English Nature was renamed Natural England quite a few years ago.
