Suffolk's verges interactive map

Each dot marks the approximate location of an area of conservation cutting in Suffolk. By zooming in, the extent and specific detail of the location can be seen. If you see an uncut verge in summer, please remember that this may well be a conservation management decision, essential for the wildlife. By clicking on a Roadside Nature Reserve (RNR) a table of information will be displayed, including a link to the site's individual fact sheet. This explains which species or floral community the site is designated for.

Suffolk County Council and the District Councils advise that the public do not visit these sites due to the busy roads on which many of them are found. SCC and the District Councils have not conducted a full risk assessment on these sites.
