Great news from Bradgate Park Trust 💚🦌🪨🌱

🎉 Breaking News! 🎉

Bradgate Park and Swithland Wood has just been designated as a National Nature Reserve!🌿🏞️

🔍Did you know we date back over half a billion years and are home to some of the oldest animal fossils ever discovered?🌿🦕

🦴🌿 It's true! Our very own Charnia fossils are among the oldest known and have transformed our understanding of how life evolved🤯

We are immensely proud to receive this recognition, highlighting our incredible natural and historical significance. With such a rare and special place, it's no wonder we have joined the King’s Series of National Nature Reserves! 🥳
