A total of 48 sites are managed by ARC in the Dorset area. Ranging in size from a garden pond, purchased to protect a population of great crested newts, to large heathlands (over 170 ha in size), ARC manages a suite of sites important for rare amphibians and reptiles. Many of the reserves are open to the public.
