ART Project Officer: Job Description and Application Procedure ART Project Officer: Job description and application procedure Summary The Aire Rivers Trust (ART) wishes to employ a Project Officer for two purposes: • To deliver the River Aire Care River Stewardship project • To develop ART itself to have permanent staff to achieve its aims for the River Aire Funding is initially available for an 18-month appointment, with the expectation that the postholder will work with the Trustees to win future income to secure long-term continuation of the post. River Aire Care River Stewardship project The overall aim of River Stewardship for Bradford is to create a sustainable and active network of citizens looking after Bradford’s rivers and supporting flood risk and resilience activities on behalf of the community. To achieve this, the objectives of Phase 2 of River Aire Care (i.e. 2017-18) are: 1. Create or support at least six “Friends” groups in different areas 2. Engage with local business owners to get them involved in River Stewardship 3. Develop strategies for the groups which combine flood resilience with environmental aspects 4. Successfully bid for continuation funding for 2018-19 and beyond (more detail in Appendix) The project has two sources of funding. The main funding is from the Environment Agency through a grant issued to Bradford Council from the Flood and Coastal Defence Fund; Bradford have commissioned ART to deliver the programme, working jointly with Bradford and the Environment Agency. The Leeds Community Fund has supplemented this award. The Project Officer’s role will work approximately two-thirds of their time on River Stewardship on the following activities: 1. Work with existing Friends groups to identify how they can remain viable, develop their strategies, and plan programmes of action. 2. Research the need and opportunities for new groups. 3. Offer support to local groups. 4. Work with the local groups to organise events to raise awareness and increase engagement. 5. Work with local groups, the Environment Agency, CBMDC, Town and Parish Councils and local industry groups (e.g. Chamber of Commerce) to engage riparian owners and occupiers, and other local businesses, in River Stewardship. Establish a programme of clean up days in combination with business owners. 6. Coordinate an “Advisory and Information Group (AIG)” to ensure good communications between the various stakeholders and the Aire Care participants. 7. Research potential funding streams on behalf of the overall River Stewardship activities and the local groups, and to bid for continuation funding for 2018-19 and beyond. The Aire Rivers Trust is a Company Limited by Guarantee, Registered in England & Wales No: 07464227 and a Registered Charity No: 1145609. Registered office is 38 Morton Lane, East Morton, Keighley, West Yorkshire BD20 5RS Development of the Aire Rivers Trust The Aire Rivers Trust was formed in 2012. Its aims are to improve the River Aire and its catchment for the benefit of society and the environment. ART has made good progress in achieving its visions for 2022 of: • A cleaner river • Improved public appreciation for the river and its catchment • Better public access • Improved space for nature and more wildlife • Reduced flooding In particular, it has driven forward the installation of fish passes on various weirs to enable salmon to return and other fish to move freely. Just recently the Heritage Lottery Fund have supported the joint Environment Agency and ART project ‘DNAire’, a £1.6M project to install passes on the last remaining weirs up to Gargrave, by offering £800K subject to a successful Stage 2 application. However, volunteer Trustees have mostly undertaken ART’s activities. Other Rivers Trusts have been able to achieve much more once they are in a financial position to have full-time staff. The purpose of the other third of the Project Officer’s role is to work closely with the Trustees to build up ART’s income so that a permanent position for a Director can be created. This part of the role is not fully defined at this time, and the Project Officer will work with Trustees to plan and implement a strategy. This is an opportunity to make a substantial contribution to driving forward and growing an ambitious Rivers Trust. Stage 1 of DNAire, which will fund a Community Engagement Officer in ART, will run in parallel with the Project Officer’s role, and we expect the two Officers to work closely together.

  • Discovering Bingley
    DISCOVERING BINGLEY A great walk to discover Bingley starts at the train station then goes around the Aire River and Harden Beck Foot, the Leeds and Liverpool canal and its famous Five Rise Locks to finish all the way up to Gilstead crag, just to appreciate the view, and comes back down to the station through quiet streets. There are regular trains from Leeds or Bradford Forster Square. It's also a stop on the Leeds to Carlisle line. If you are coming by car, there are plenty of parking spaces at the Wellington Street car park which is next to the station (charges apply). The train Station car park is free for railway users but is often full unfortunately. The itinerary: www.walk4life.info/walk/discovering-bingley TO MYRTLE PARK From the Station make your way towards Main Street and cross the road. Before going to Myrtle Park, have a look at the old Market Hall and Butter Cross opposite Bingley Little Theatre entrance on the town square. Bingley was awarded a Market Town status in 1212 and these monuments are reminders of this past. Now make your way towards Myrtle Park entrance which is opposite the swimming pool and behind the former Bradford & Bingley building. RIVER AIRE AND HARDEN BECKFOOT You can now cross the park and make your way to its far end towards the river Aire. For interest, the Park is used for many public events including the annual Bingley Music Live Festival and the Bingley Show. Cross the pedestrian bridge and you will find allotments on your right hand side on the other side of the river.

  • FISHERIES in YORKSHIRE NOVEMBER 2017 Natural Flood
    FISHERIES IN YORKSHIRE NOVEMBER 2017 Natural Flood Management: Good for people, rivers and fish. In recent years, the Environment Agency placed an increased emphasis on Natural Flood Management (NFM) as part of a series of measures to manage flood risk. NFM involves working with natural processes to slow the flow of river water and reduce surface water run- off. This can include measures such as restoring flood plains, planting trees, installing felled timber within woodlands to intercept flow, and building leaky dams within river channels, like the one picture (left) at Crakemoor in the Upper Aire. These techniques are a useful addition to traditional flood risk management techniques, such as floodwater storage areas and riverside walling; but engineering solutions will still remain part of the overall mix of flood defence measures. In addition to helping manage flood risk, NFM also benefits the environment and fisheries. Slower flows across land lead to less erosion and reduces the amount of fine sediment being washed into the channel. Fine sediments can settle on the river bed, smothering gravels and reducing the quality of fish spawning and feeding grounds. The Environment Agency and our partners have a good track record of using techniques which provide an NFM benefit, in completed and ongoing ecological improvement projects. This year, partnership funding has been announced to allow us to take advantage of the lastest NFM techniques in the Upper Ure and Bishopdale, Brompton and Backstones Beck catchments, as well as Derwent Villages (Yorkshire Wildlife Trust with Derwent Catchment Partnership), Collingham Beck (Dales to Vales River Trust) and Midgelden Brook, upper Calder (Treesponsibility with the Source Partnership).

  • The Parasitic Copepods Achtheres Percarum Nordmann and Salmincola Gordoni Gurney in Yorkshire
    The Parasitic Copepods Achtheres percarum Nordmann and Salmincola gordoni Gurney in Yorkshire GEOFFREY FRYER Freshwater Biological Association, Ambleside, Westmorland f- 634 756 Reprinted from the July—September 1969 issue of The Naturalist (No. 910) 77 THE PARASITIC COPEPODS ACHTHERES PERCARUM NORDMANN AND SALMINCOLA GORDONI GURNEY IN YORKSHIRE GEOFFREY FRYER Freshwater Biological Association, Ambleside, Westmorland Of the two parasitic copepods referred to here, both of which belong to the family Lernaeopodidae, Achtheres percarum was collected in Britain for the first time in 1954 in the River Colne, and in the Grand Union and Kennet and Avon Canals, all of which are in the Thames drainage area (Harding & Gervers, 1956). Since then it has been reported from Rostherne Mere, Cheshire [Rizvi — unpublished thesis, cited by Chubb (1965)] but not apparently elsewhere in this country. Because of the confusion in which it was involved (see below) it was, however, described and illustrated by Gurney (1933) in his monograph of the British freshwater Copepoda. The material he used came from continental Europe. The other species, Salmincola gordoni, was already known in Yorkshire and was indeed described from specimens collected in the River Rye (Gurney, 1933). It has since been reported from Scotland (Friend, 1939) where it had already been found prior to Gurney's work but had been erroneously reported (Scott & Scott, 1913) as Achtheres percarum, and has more recently been reported from the Isle of Man (Bruce, Colman & Jones, 1963). Outside the British Isles it is unknown. (It is possible that S. heintzi (Neresheimer) from Bavaria, which I regard as unrecognisable from existing descriptions, is closely related to this species.)

  • This Walk from Bingley to Cullingworth Is Something of a Wandering Ramble
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Bingley To Cullingworth Starting point and OS Grid reference Bingley – On street parking at Fairfax Road. (SE 107402) Ordnance Survey map OL21 South Pennines – Burnley, Hebden Bridge, Keighley and Todmorden OS Explorer Map 288 - Bradford & Huddersfield Distance 12.6 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: This walk from Bingley to Cullingworth is something of a wandering ramble. It shows that it is possible to have a decent walk without trekking off into the wilds. There are a lot of interesting features on this walk including the famous Bingley Five Rise Locks on the Leeds/Liverpool Canal, River Aire, Goit Stock Waterfalls and the Hewenden Viaduct which you cross. For me, one of the most interesting features was the George Hotel in Cullingworth for lunch! A wide range of Old Spot beers are brewed “up t’road” by the owner of the pub and the quality of the OSB I had and the food were exemplary. Attractive black faced stone cottages abound and the terrain varies from tarmac to field footpaths and moorland. The walking itself is quite easy but the route is quite complicated to describe in places and the directions are therefore quite lengthy. In part, the walk follows the Millennium Way. Unfortunately, although there are many good views, on the day I did the walk, it was rather murky so I did not take view photos. The walk starts near the Bingley Five Rise Locks and the best place to park is in the residential street Fairfax Road. To get there from the centre of Bingley, turn north at the main traffic lights up Park Road.
