  • COUNTRYSIDE Page 1 of 16
    Page 1 of 16 COUNTRYSIDE Introduction 12.1 Shepway has a rich and diverse landscape ranging from the rolling chalk downland and dry valleys of the North Downs, through the scarp and dip slope of the Old Romney Shoreline, to Romney Marsh and the unique shingle feature of the Dungeness peninsula. This diversity is reflected in the range of Natural Areas and Countryside Character Areas, identified by English Nature and the Countryside Agency respectively, which cover the District. The particular landscape and wildlife value of large parts of the District is also recognised through protective countryside designations, including Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Heritage Coastline, as well as the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The countryside also plays host to a wide range of activities and it is recognised that the health of the rural economy and the health of the countryside are inter-linked. A function of the Local Plan is to achieve a sustainable pattern of development in the countryside. This involves a balance between the needs of rural land users and maintaining and enhancing countryside character and quality. 12.2 This balance is achieved in two main ways:- a. By focussing most development in urban areas, particularly on previously developed sites and ensuring that sufficient land is allocated to meet identified development requirements, thus reducing uncertainty and speculation on ‘greenfield’ sites in the countryside. b. By making firm policy statements relating to: the general principles to be applied to all proposals in the countryside; specific types of development in the countryside; and the protection of particularly important areas.

Green Infrastructure - definitions 1.1 A number of definitions of Green Infrastructure (GI) are in use including:- PPS12 – “…a network of multi-functional green space, both new and existing, both rural and urban, which supports the natural and ecological processes and is integral to the health and quality of life of sustainable communities.” 1.2 South East Plan/South East GI Partnership – “For the purposes of spatial planning the term green infrastructure (GI) relates to the active planning and management of sub-regional networks of multi-functional open space. These networks should be managed and designed to support biodiversity and wider quality of life, particularly in areas undergoing large scale change.“ 1.3 Natural England – “Green Infrastructure (GI) is a strategically planned and delivered network of high quality green spaces and other environmental features. It should be designed and managed as a multifunctional resource capable of delivering a wide range of environmental and quality of life benefits for local communities. Green Infrastructure includes parks, open spaces, playing fields, woodlands, allotments and private gardens.” 1.4 The common features of these definitions are that GI:- • involves natural and managed green areas in urban and rural settings • is about the strategic connection of open green areas • should provide multiple benefits for people 2.

  • Volunteer Role Summary Livestock Lookering
    Volunteer Role Summary Livestock Lookering Lookers are reliable people who love spending time outdoors and want to help look after the livestock that maintain our amazing chalk grassland. They make sure that the sheep, horses and cows that graze the partnership area are healthy and report any problems to a member of staff. Up on the Downs work in partnership with Kent Wildlife Trust, National Trust and White Cliffs Countryside Partnership and look after over 500 hectares of chalk grassland in the Dover and Folkestone area. We need to use livestock to graze these sites to make sure that this grassland has rich and varied wildlife. With such a large area to look after and 10 or more herds of cows or flocks of sheep needing to be looked after at any one time we are dependent upon the hard work of volunteers to help us make sure that animals are in good condition. By getting involved, you could… Ensure that the highest possible animal welfare standards are being maintained Make a real difference to how the landscape is managed for future generations Spend more time outside and active Working alongside dedicated countryside management professionals, learning skills along the way Join a friendly and varied team and make some new friends What’s involved? You will work on a rota with other volunteers and will be asked to go to a specific site on a particular day and: Check the right number of animals are present Get close enough to tell whether they are healthy Check that water is provided and that ice is broken in freezing weather Report any problems with fencing, gates or paths Report back to staff to let them know you have checked the animals This is a voluntary role.

    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 25: 2012 15 SCALE INSECTS AND WHITEFLIES (HEMIPTERA: COCCOIDEA AND ALEYRODOIDEA) OF WATSONIAN KENT; WITH A DISCUSSION ON THE IMPACT OF NATURALISED NON-NATIVE SPECIES 1 2 C. MALUMPHY &J.S.BADMIN 1The Food and Environment Research Agency, Sand Hutton, York YO41 1LZ, UK Email: [email protected] 2Coppice Place, Perry Wood, Selling, nr Faversham, Kent ME13 9RP ABSTRACT An annotated list of 79 species of Coccoidea (37 native, 16 naturalised introductions, 17 introduced species established on indoor plantings and 9 non- established introductions on growing plants), and 17 species of Aleyrodoidea (five native, six naturalised introductions, two introduced species established on indoor plantings and four non-established introductions on growing plants), recorded from Watsonian Kent is presented. The mealybug Balanococcus kwoni Pellizzari & Danzig, an Asian pest of bamboo, is recorded from Britain for the first time. Eleven species of scale insect and seven species of whitefly are recorded outdoors from Watsonian Kent for the first time. A third of all scale insect species and half the whitefly species found outdoors in Watsonian Kent are non-native introductions. None of the introduced species, however, appear to have any serious negative impact on native biodiversity, ecosystems, forestry or crops, although they do have an economic and aesthetic impact on ornamental plants in urban areas. Diaspidiotus pyri (Lichtenstein) has been recorded as an occasional, minor pest of apple; and the presence of non-native scales on ornamental plants has prevented the issuing of plant-passports for export. Naturalised non-native scale insect species are more abundant and frequently more damaging to ornamental plants in urban areas than native scale species.
