Very little - things have gone Welcomereally quiet it seems, so far as my in-box is concerned anyway. Although ARTICLES the Island has moved to Level 1 of the Safe Exit Framework and many businesses are returning to some kind of normal, the same cannot be said of the various associations within the Parish, as you will see from 6 Helping Wings hope to fly again the rather short contributions from a few of the groups who were able to send me something.

  • Biodiversity Strategy for Jersey
    Bio Diversity a strategy for Jersey Forward by Senator Nigel Quérée President, Planning and Environment Committee This document succeeds in bringing together all the facets of Jersey’s uniquely diverse environmental landscape. It describes the contrasting habitats which exist in this small Island and explains what should be done to preserve them, so that we can truly hand Jersey on to future generations with minimal environmental damage. It is a document which should be read by anyone who wants to know more about the different species which exist in Jersey and what should be done to protect them. I hope that it will help to foster a much greater understanding of the delicate balance that should be struck when development in the Island is considered and for that reason this is a valuable supporting tool for the Jersey Island Plan. Introduction Section 4 Loss of biodiversity and other issues Section 1 Causes of Loss of Biodiversity 33 The structure of the strategy Conservation Issues 34 Biodiversity 1 In Situ/Ex Situ Conservation 34 Biodiversity and Jersey 2 EIA Procedures in Jersey 36 Methodology 2 Role of Environmental Adviser 36 Approach 3 International Relations 38 Process 3 Contingency Planning 38 Key International Obligations 3 Current Legislation 5 Section 5 Evaluation of Natural History Sites 5 In situ conservation Introduction 42 Section 2 Habitats 42 Sustainable use Species 46 Introduction 9 The Identification of Key Species 47 General Principles 9 Limitations 48 Scope of Concern 11 Species Action Plans 49 Sample Action Plan 51

  • No.3 Les Landes De L'est SSI.Pdf
    Les Landes de L’Est Site of Special (Ecological) Interest Introduction Les Landes de L’Est, otherwise known as Les Landes, is one of the Island’s largest Sites of Special Interest (SSI), covering 102 hectares and forming the north-west corner of the Jersey National Park. It is the largest single block of maritime heathland anywhere in the Channel Islands and offers visitors a feeling of wildness and remoteness. The site’s location provides an important ecological link between St Ouen’s Bay and the north coast, supporting a range of habitats and species, some of which are unique to the area. Large parts of the site are in public ownership, but the SSI incorporates other areas of private and common land. The site is an open plateau lying 80m above mean sea level and Spotted Cat's-ear the underlying rock is primarily granite, resulting in thin and acidic soils, which in turn heavily influences the vegetation which favours these conditions. The hardness of the bedrock has led to the creation of the dramatic, steep cliffs which we see today. The openness and feeling of wildness on offer are fantastic with wonderful views across the mauves and yellows of the gorse and heather towards the other Channel Islands to the north. Jersey’s climate is oceanic, and the north-west coast of Jersey is wide-open to the full force of Atlantic gales making Les Landes one of the most exposed areas of the Island. The wind is usually wet and salty, which has an effect particularly on the vegetation in the area.

Jersey, March, 1816. PREFACE. At a time when regions, distantly situated, and un- connected with Great Britain, either by political or commercial affinity, are thought worthy of appearing in print, it seems natural to hope, that an island, in the vicinity of England, so long and so peculiarly at- tached to it as Jersey, will be considered as entitled to still greater attention.
