The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.

These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

I feel that kind of anticipation when I go to see a film or a play, and— more and more—when I visit a museum. I believe that our houses should —and could—pack a similar punch. This was certainly the view of Freeman Tilden (1883-1980), the American inter- pretation expert who wrote a handbook for US National Park Rangers in 1957. It The re-creation of the First World War hospital at Dunham Massey, Cheshire is a fascinating read, and 57 years on, it A visitor’s experience must, of course, is just as relevant to us today as it was to be pleasurable, and the National Trust has the rangers then.

  • Haldon's Hidden Heritage
    Haldon’s Hidden Heritage The Haldon Hills – whose name may be derived from the Old English Haw-hyll dun, meaning ‘look-out hill’ – are often referred to as the ‘hidden’ hills of Devon. Apart from its forests and landmark tower, most people know little of its rich heritage. This unique exhibition touches every aspect of the Hills, through geology and prehistory, to the establishment of its grand country mansions. The panels are available to be shown in local community and school halls. 1 Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, with help from Arts Council England, Devon County Council, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the Forestry Commission.

  • Saltram Countryside Park (Plymouth Green Infrastructure Delivery Plan): Plymouth
    Natural England Commissioned Report NECR101 Valuing Ecosystem Services: Case Studies from Lowland England Annex 1 - Saltram Countryside Park (Plymouth Green Infrastructure Delivery Plan): Plymouth First published 15 August 2012 www.naturalengland.org.uk Valuing Ecosystem Services: Case Studies from Lowland England Saltram Countryside Park Preface This report has been commissioned by Natural England under the contract reference number of 23092. The work aims to present how a combined ecosystem services and economic valuation approach can be used to understand the implications of different environmental conservation plans. Guidance from Defra on ecosystem services and value transfer is followed (Defra, 2007, eftec, 2010). The approach is used to assess and, where possible, value the likely changes in ecosystem services resulting from an intervention. The information thus generated can be incorporated into decision-making or support tools such as cost benefit analysis. This information could also inform the way in which the management and conservation projects are designed to maximise the ecosystem service generation. This is one of the six case study reports prepared to illustrate the application of the ecosystem services – economic valuation approach. The work has benefited greatly from the ideas, knowledge, data and critique provided by numerous individuals in Natural England and other organisations. These include: Kathryn Deeney, Stewart Clarke, Julian Harlow, John Hopkins and Ruth Waters. We know that some others have provided advice or data to those who helped us and though we cannot list these people here, our sincere thanks go to them too. And our sincere apologies to anyone inadvertently omitted from the list above. Needless to say, any remaining errors are the fault of the authors alone.
