Green Light
These reserves are considered well worth the travelling time to visit, even if you don't live locally. 'Green' sites tend to have several of the following attributes: good access, parking, waymarked wildlife walks, hides, scenic landscape, large size, sufficient interest to warrant a longer visit.

 

Amber Light
Worth a visit for a shorter period of time. The sites may have several of the attributes found at 'green' sites but may be smaller in size and hold less interest.

 

Red Light
Worth a visit if you live locally. These sites tend to be small and lack most of the attributes of 'green' and 'amber' sites. They are nevertheless important for
conservation.
