The Ridgeway is a National Trail that covers six highway authority areas. SW illustrated the physical scope of The Ridgeway - 87 miles long and covering six Highway Authority areas. Formally designated in 1972. From 2015 there has been a requirement by Natural England that all national trails should be managed by a partnership, so in 2015 a partnership was formed for The Ridgeway, of which JB is a member (representing the BHS and updating on the work of the LAF). The Ridgeway Partnership works with landowners and WBC to maintain the trail, with EC ensuring that an annual survey is carried out each year. SW works for the trail four days per week, supplemented by one volunteer who works one day a week on practical tasks, plus one further member of staff, again one day per week, who deals with public enquiries.

Planning and Highways Committee 19Th January 2021 Agenda Item No.: 6
Planning and Highways Committee 19th January 2021 Agenda Item No.: 6 Dear Sir or Madam On 6th December 2017, a section 31(6) Highways Act 1980 statement and map was entered onto the West Berkshire Council (WBC) section 31A Highways Act 1980 register, covering land owned by West Berkshire Council and managed by Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT). A corresponding declaration has now been made and entered onto the section 31A Highways Act 1980 register, as required to complete the process under section 31(6) Highways Act 1980. The process legally demonstrates that there has been no intention of dedicating any additional public rights of way over the affected land shown edged red on the seven attached plans (which are attached as one combine document) during the past three years. Any public rights of way that existed across the land prior to December 2017 are not affected by the process. There is no intention to alter access to any of these sites in relation to the above process, which is a standard process where multiple large areas are open to public access under one ownership. Let me know if you have any queries or need any more information. Kind regards Stuart Higgins Definitive Map Officer Countryside West Berkshire Council Market Street Newbury RG14 5LD This will not affect existing public rights of way that are already recorded on the West Berkshire Council Definitive Map and Statement, or any unrecorded public rights of way that can be proven to exist CA17 (Declaration) Notice Ref. 87 (West Berkshire Council Countryside sites) Notice of landowner deposit under section 31(6) of the Highways Act 1980 West Berkshire District Council An application to deposit a declaration under section 31(6) of the Highways Act 1980 has been made in relation to the land described below and shown edged in red on the accompanying map.

Part 5 CAPITAL WORKS SPECIFICATIONS CHEMICAL
Part 5 CAPITAL WORKS SPECIFICATIONS CHEMICAL BRACKEN CONTROL General Bracken control must have a minimal adverse impact on other environmental interests on the site. In general chemical control causes less disturbance to archaeological sites, ground nesting birds and invertebrates than mechanical control, but it will kill other species of fern and may be more damaging to other plants around the site. A management plan is required before bracken control is grant aided. The plan must identify the environmental benefits of carrying out the work as well as any risks to sites of archaeological or ecological importance, soil erosion and impacts on the landscape (short and long term). The management plan should identify areas to be controlled, the most appropriate control method to be used and details of follow up treatments to control regrowth. The management plan must be agreed with your Natural England contact before work starts. The work must be carried out in accordance with the agreed plan. The management plans detailing the method of bracken control are: Padworth Common Management Plan – to be agreed in Year 1. Wokefield Heathland Management Plan – to be produced and agreed in Year 1. Chemical Bracken Control All applications of herbicides must be in accordance with current legislation and relevant codes of practice. You should ensure any relevant consents are gained before carrying out the work e.g. consent from the Environment Agency may be required to spray near a watercourse. Use asulam or glyphosate to control bracken, providing this is within the approval for the product at the time of application. Asulam is the preferred herbicide as it is more selective than glyphosate and can be applied by aerial spraying (unless subject to a change in approval).

Rare Plant Register
1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.

Padworth and Wokefield Commons
point your feet on a new path Padworth and Wokefield Commons Distance: 13 km=8 miles easy walking Region: Berkshire, Hampshire Date written: 10-oct-2016 Author: MacMeadow Last update: 21-feb-2018 Refreshments: Mortimer Map: Explorer 159 (Reading) but the maps in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Woodland, moorland, heath, historic house In Brief This walk near Reading, Berkshire offers you a constantly changing scene of small woods, nature reserves and heathland, some quiet and isolated, others popular with families from the neighbouring towns. En route you will pass a historic house and a good hostelry (to enquire at the Turners Arms , ring 0118-933-2961). Paths are generally quite sound with little undergrowth or nettles to worry you. There are no ploughed fields to cross but you will find boots advisable in the moist seasons because of possible damp patches in the woodlands. If you bring a dog or two, they will be in good company. There are very few gradients on this level walk, enabling a steady pace. You can divide it into three roughly equal sections of 4 km=2½ miles each. The first, a little longer at 5 km=3 miles, leads to the modern village of Burghfield Common; the second ends at a refreshment break in Mortimer. The walk begins at the Padworth Common car park, nearest postcode RG7 4JB , just off Baughurst Road and Rectory Road.
