An ancient moor has been protected for wildlife after Natural England declared it a new national nature reserve.💚 More than 1,100 hectares (2,718.1 acres) of moorland in Cornwall has been marked out as an area of focus for conservation and nature restoration. The land near St Austell boasts a rich mix of habitats including wet woodlands, heaths and bogs, which are havens for rare species such as willow tits, sphagnum moss, butterfly orchids, royal fern, Cornish moneywort and the carnivorous round-leaved sundew. Named the Mid Cornwall Moors, it becomes the 14th site to be declared a reserve as part of the King's series of National Nature Reserves, with 25 new protected areas planned by 2028. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpvp…
