Part of a park in north Manchester is set to become the city's newest nature reserve. Broadhurst Clough in Moston is the latest site to be designated by Manchester council as a local nature reserve, taking the total in the city to 10.
Its new status will help protect the natural features and wildlife habitats of this section of Broadhurst Park and increase its chances of getting investment. It is also hoped the move will encourage more people to visit the beauty spot.
It comes after a former tip transformed into woodland south of Chorlton Water Park was declared as a local nature reserve last year. Kenworthy Woods in Northenden was named as the city's ninth local nature reserve in December.

Friends of Broadhurst Park chairman Celia Cropper said: "We are delighted that Broadhurst Clough is to be designated as a local nature reserve. We are pleased that the wide range of species within the Clough will have more protection and hope that the publicity will encourage more people to visit."
Linking to Moston Fairway and Boggart Hole Clough - which is also a local nature reserve - this part of the Irk Valley Corridor contains the Dean Brook which trickles through a steep-sided woodland ravine. The rest of the site consists of grassland - some rich with different species - and marshland.
Mature poplars sit alongside young copses of birch and alder woodland which have been planted in partnership with the City of Trees. Extensive stands of flag iris can also be found in the marshy areas and seasonal ponds, providing ideal cover for common frogs and toads, as well as rest stops for dragonflies.
