Chartley Moss is a 44 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Staffordshire, notified in 1987. The area has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Ramsar Convention protected wetland site, and a national nature reserve. There is no access without a permit.
Chartley Moss was featured in a 1964 BBC programme which included a demonstration of the depth that a rod could be pushed into it, and how the surface of it, and trees growing in it, can move when it is walked on, as it is an example of a quaking bog or schwingmoor.
In 1995 Chartley Moss was twinned with Tsukigaumi Mire, Hokkaido, in a gesture of goodwill between scientists from Hokkaido University and the University of Nottingham.
