  • IDB Biodiversity Action Plan
    BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN April 2018 PEVENSEY AND CUCKMERE WLMB – BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN Front cover images (L-R) Kestrel ©Heather Smithers; Barn Owl; Floating Pennywort; Fen Raft Spider ©Charlie Jackson; Water Vole; Otter PEVENSEY AND CUCKMERE WLMB – BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN FOREWORD This Biodiversity Action Plan has been prepared by the Pevensey and Cuckmere Water Level Management Board in accordance with the commitment in the Implementation Plan of the DEFRA Internal Drainage Board Review for IDB’s, to produce their own Biodiversity Action Plans by April 2010. This aims to align this BAP with the Sussex Biodiversity Action Plan. The document also demonstrates the Board’s commitment to fulfilling its duty as a public body under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 to conserve biodiversity. Many of the Board’s activities have benefits and opportunities for biodiversity, not least its water level management and ditch maintenance work. It is hoped that this Biodiversity Action Plan will help the Board to maximise the biodiversity benefits from its activities and demonstrate its contribution to the Government’s UK Biodiversity Action Plan targets as part of the Biodiversity 2020 strategy. The Board has adopted the Biodiversity Action Plan as one of its policies and subject to available resources is committed to its implementation. It will review the plan periodically and update it as appropriate. Bill Gower Chairman of the Board PEVENSEY AND CUCKMERE WLMB – BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS & ACRONYMS 1 1

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

  • Walks & Strolls
    WALKS & STROLLS AUGUST - OCTOBER 2018 Dear Members, British Summer Time continues throughout this programme, so let’s use the long days to enjoy our walking and travelling. After a late start, early summer has been beautifully green, so we hope to see full harvests in due course. With our varied weather, plants and animals on the Downs have much to cope with each year and it’s interesting to see how they are affected. You’ll notice this time that several Saturdays do not have any of the longer walks. Several Saturday walks leaders have had health and/or age issues lately! They have mostly been covered by strolls on these days, which are particularly welcome. Thinking about strolls, sadly Peter Harris has found it necessary to say farewell as a strolls leader. We are most grateful for his contribution over the years, especially for his entertaining themed strolls, and hope we shall still see him out strolling from time to time. All your walk offers are valuable but arranging them suitably is not always easy. The same areas do seem to cluster. So it’s worked out that lunch at Burpham is popular - in successive walks. However they do cover quite different ground. And if some people had not been able to swap there would have been three. Let’s just call it “Love Burpham Week”! In general we are down on number of walks leaders. Ideally all walkers would take part in leading so there would be a large enough pool of leaders to cope with temporary unavailability.

    February 2015 A Tree Strategy for Huntingdonshire Introduction 2 Introduction A TREE STRATEGY FOR HUNTINGDONSHIRE Introduction Foreword by Councillor Douglas Dew Executive Councillor for Strategic Planning & Housing: Huntingdonshire has a varied historic landscape of 350 square miles, with 4 market towns and nearly 100 villages, all within an expanse of attractive, open countryside, farmland, and woodland. Trees play an important role in the rural and urban landscapes of Huntingdonshire, improving the quality of life in many ways. They make a great contribution to our rural and urban areas, adding great beauty and character and creating a sense of place. They enhance and complement the built environment by providing screening, focal points, privacy and perspective. Those in parks and gardens bring nature into the hearts of our towns. Streets planted with trees look better, and they also provide valuable wildlife corridors, connecting open spaces. Trees are the largest and oldest living things in the environment. Trees and woodlands are dominant landscape features, and collectively they form one of Huntingdonshire’s finest features. We need to protect our trees and care for them properly. We also need to make sure we plant new trees to replace those that we have to remove, or which have reached the end of their normal lives, so that future generations can derive the same enjoyment and benefits from trees that we do. This strategy sets out how the Council will do this over the coming years. We aim to have more and better trees than we have at the moment, in an attractive environment which will help make Huntingdonshire a better place in which to live, work, study and spend leisure time.
