Bidston Moss Nature Reserve

A small nature reserve of approximately 8 hectares located in between The Birket, the M53 motorway and the A554 dual-carriageway. Set up as a nature reserve in 1994, the main aims are, "to conserve and enhance the wetland as a rich wildlife habitat, to allow natural succession from rough grassland to scrub on the drier areas; to encourage the use of the area by local schools; to raise public awareness of the Reserve and to protect and maintain a safe site suitable for informal recreation." The Reserve is supported by Wirral Council, Friends of Bidston Moss, the Mersey Forest, the BTCV, and Groundwork Wirral.
