The Manx BirdLife Point of Ayre National Reserve is a project led by Manx BirdLife (Manx Charity no. 711). Please refer to the bottom of this page for full details.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In partnership with Island Aggregates, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and with the support of IOM Government, Manx BirdLife is transforming a former working quarry into an open, publicly accessible and richly diverse ecosystem — initially encompassing 105 acres, with potential to grow to more than 450 acres. Home to an unrivalled variety of bird, insect and plant life, the Manx BirdLife Point of Ayre National Reserve will offer wild wonders and intimate nature experiences unlike any other on the Isle of Man. Sterile excavation pits are becoming fertile freshwater lagoons, giving glittering refuge to resident and migratory birds as well as thriving populations of dragonflies and more. Age-old heathland, spread over glacial shingle and sand, is being joined by new growth of flora and fauna. A distinct environment for wildlife to flourish, which we aim to open for families, enthusiasts and researchers alike.
