Moore Nature Reserve is managed by wardens employed by FCC Environment, operators of nearby Arpley Landfill site. Arpley Landfill began operating in 1988 and covers more than 500 acres. The landfill is being restored to a mix of woodland and grassland and, together with Moore Nature Reserve, will eventually provide an important public amenity and area of rich biodiversity on the edge of what is a busy, and growing urban area.
The 200-acre reserve in Warrington, England, lies alongside the Manchester Ship Canal and is bisected by the de-watered course of the Runcorn to Latchford Canal. Access is made freely available to the public. The reserve comprises five lakes, woodland and meadows, and has a number of bird hides[1] and a feeding station.
It is particularly known for the presence of lesser spotted woodpeckers and tawny owls.
