AN internationally important nature reserve near York which offers sanctuary to breeding and wintering birds is to expand by more than 100 hectares. Natural England has announced the extension to the Lower Derwent Valley National Nature Reserve to mark World Wetlands Day. The valley, with its ancient traditionally-farmed hay meadows, known as Ings, stretch for some 12 miles along the River Derwent and the Pocklington Canal, to the east and south-east of York. The wildlife spectacles can be enjoyed by the public throughout the year at key visitor locations including North Duffield, Wheldrake and Thorganby. Natural England said that, in collaboration with the Carstairs Countryside Trust (CCT)- a rapid response organisation for conservation- the reserve was to increase by almost a third from 466 hectares to 602 hectares.
