  • THE Systematic List for 2009
    THE SystemaTic List for 2009 The 2009 systematic list was prepared by a team of species account writers (see below) and edited by Chris Heard and Renton Righelato. We try to restrict records to those within the long and tortuous border of Berkshire. However, this is not always possible and it should be noted, for example, that monthly peak counts of wildfowl at Eversley GPs may include some birds in Hampshire and some records on the Thames and Blackwater rivers may have been over the midline and outside Berkshire. Moreover, references to Atlas survey data include counts in the whole of border tetrads, resulting in the survey area being almost 25% larger than the area of Berkshire itself.

  • Historic Landscape Character Areas and Their Special Qualities and Features of Significance
    Historic Landscape Character Areas and their special qualities and features of significance Volume 1 Third Edition March 2016 Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy Emma Rouse, Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy www.wyvernheritage.co.uk – [email protected] – 01747 870810 March 2016 – Third Edition Summary The North Wessex Downs AONB is one of the most attractive and fascinating landscapes of England and Wales. Its beauty is the result of many centuries of human influence on the countryside and the daily interaction of people with nature. The history of these outstanding landscapes is fundamental to its present‐day appearance and to the importance which society accords it. If these essential qualities are to be retained in the future, as the countryside continues to evolve, it is vital that the heritage of the AONB is understood and valued by those charged with its care and management, and is enjoyed and celebrated by local communities. The North Wessex Downs is an ancient landscape. The archaeology is immensely rich, with many of its monuments ranking among the most impressive in Europe. However, the past is etched in every facet of the landscape – in the fields and woods, tracks and lanes, villages and hamlets – and plays a major part in defining its present‐day character. Despite the importance of individual archaeological and historic sites, the complex story of the North Wessex Downs cannot be fully appreciated without a complementary awareness of the character of the wider historic landscape, its time depth and settlement evolution. This wider character can be broken down into its constituent parts.
