Date:	1973-1991
History:	In 1973 Nature Conservancy was abolished and replaced by the Nature Conservancy Council, which was established by the Nature Conservancy Council Act. It was as a grant-aided body, financed by and responsible to the Department of the Environment. The new Council was responsible for establishing, maintaining and managing National Nature Reserves, providing advice and disseminating knowledge about nature conservation, and for commissioning or supporting research relevant to nature conservation. Research staff of the former Conservancy remained in the Natural Environment Research Council and became staff of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology. In 1991 the Nature Conservancy Council was renamed English Nature.
