In 2024 work will be completed by Norfolk County Council working with Norfolk Wildlife Trust, to designate 189 new Roadside Nature Reserves (RNRs) in addition to the 111 we have already protected. Currently, we have protected 85.76 kilometres of wildlife rich verges since the mid-1990s.
For further information please visit the website. There’s an interactive map which shows exactly where they all are:

In the Alpington and Yelverton Parish, a RNR will be located on Slade Lane by the end of 2024. A post with a plaque will be installed on the verge at each end of the RNR to identify the length that has been designated.
Be safe and responsible when visiting roadside verges
Visiting roadside verges can be a rewarding experience. When you visit a roadside verge, you are responsible for your own safety and the safety of others, including road users. You should also respect the environment and the wildlife that live there.
