New location of this nationally threatened grasshopper, though known from wider Collector area
User's notes
Most of the reserve was quite swampy, I did see a couple of other grasshoppers jump but did not check what they were. Well camouflaged!

This appears to be a new location for Keyacris. What is the status of this Reserve please.

Oh dear, not sure that I am the right person to ask, I have only visited a couple of times, and not even quite sure what you are asking? Is it about the governance, or about the plants here? Perhaps @JaneR may know?

I looked at my copy of the 'Long Paddock" and it appears to be Collector TSR 44 ha but I will confirm with my colleague at Land Services. There should be a sign on the gate.

There is indeed a sign on the gate, and it says "Collector Reserve". There is an acknowledgement to the Natural Heritage Trust.
it is shown on the LLS website map of TSR classification as "Collector" in two parts (20,07 ha and 20,84 ha).
Is this a former TSR that has been made a reserve ?
