Sir John Johnson, Chairman Steve Rodrick, Chilterns AONB Officer 2 REPORT ON AREAS OF WORK Chalk Streams Allen Beechey took up the new post of Chilterns Chalk Streams Project Officer in July 2005. The Chalk Streams Project welcomed two new organisations to the steering group: British Waterways and The Wendover Arm Trust. The second phase of the Bulbourne Restoration Project at St. John's Well in Berkhamsted was completed early in 2006. This phase involved: completion of narrowing work; willow pollarding; thinning of trees; and installation of in-stream deflectors. The Impress the Chess Partnership carried out work on the improvement of the River Chess in Chesham including path improvements, vegetation management, willow pollarding and regular litter clearance work parties. Re-signing of the Chess Valley Walk through Chesham was completed, providing walkers with clearer directions along the newer route via Lowndes Park and Duck Alley. The Project continued to support the Water Vole Recovery Project. A survey of the Chess from Chorleywood to Chesham revealed an 18% increase in the water vole population along the river Pollarded willows on the River Bulbourne between 2003 and 2005. in Berkhamsted Surveys of the Rivers Ver and Bulbourne have been carried out by the Project in order to develop River Restoration Plans, which outline the opportunities for river enhancement in the two catchments. The existing walk and education leaflets produced by the Project continue to be in high demand. Both the 'Wildlife of Chilterns Chalk Streams' and 'St. Albans Trail' leaflets were updated and reproduced. The programme of walks was well attended with events run by a range of the Project partners. The Project Officer gave several talks to local groups about Chalk Streams, their wildlife and the work of the project. The Chalk Streams Annual Forum was held in June at Latimer Park, in the Chess Valley. Over 40 delegates heard presentations from the Chiltern Society, Wendover Arm Trust, Environment Agency, Thames Water & Three Valleys Water. Farming and Land Use 11 site visits were made giving advice to farmers and landowners on a variety of subjects including Defra's new Environmental Stewardship Scheme, diversification, land management for conservation, and marketing of produce. The Farming and Land Use Officer wrote five articles, gave two talks to the public and two radio interviews on a variety of subjects including the future of farming in the Chilterns, grant schemes, local produce and Farm walk at Annables Farm near the Chilterns Conservation Award. Flamstead Six promotional events for the Environmental Stewardship Scheme were supported including farm walks and a workshop jointly organised by the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group. 3 In April the first Chiltern Farmers Forum was held at Old Amersham Town Hall. Subjects covered included the future of farming in the AONB, new waste management regulations and the historic environment. Over 50 farmers, land owners and Board members attended. 12 farm walks for members of the public were held on a variety of farms across the Chilterns and were attended by over 270 people. Woodlands The Board provided office facilities and financial support totalling £20,000 to the Chiltern Woodlands Project. With this support the Project was able to: Provide advice on the management of 51 woods Plan the Woods At Work event (9th April 2006) Help organise two fully booked woodland photography workshops and two very successful family fun days Organise eight talks and four guided walks Hold a Chilterns Woodland Forum in January 2006. Bluebell display in Cowleaze Wood With grant aid from the Forestry Commission and Countryside Agency, the Woodland Research Programme was continued. The programme demonstrated that public access to woodlands in the Chilterns was well above the national average with relatively few people living more than 500 metres from woodland with public access. It also showed that visitor satisfaction with the quality of their woodland visit is very high and there is little demand for improvements. The Board supported a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund by the Chiltern Woodlands Project for the Special Trees and Woods Project which was awarded £268,000 over 3.5 years (75% funding). Project Officer Liz Manley started work in January 2006.

It will be valid until 2033. A Neighbourhood Plan is only concerned with land use and development, not community facilities directly, although it can be used to propose detailed actions and use of S106 agreements by directing funding as suggested during the evidence gathering. This Plan is not intended to simply restrict or prevent development occurring in the Parish, but will focus the local Planning Authority’s attention on the wishes of us, the residents, in the development of Wendover. It will serve as an aide to help developers focus on the requisites for successful and appropriate development, sympathetic to our Parish, the history and setting within the Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

  • Species Action Plan for Green-Winged Orchid: (Orchis Morio) in Buckinghamshire
    Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Biodiversity Action Plan Species Action Plans Species Action Plans National Species Action Plans 8.1 Biodiversity: The UK Steering Group Report (DETR, 1995) originally listed 416 priority species for which national Species Action Plans would be written. At that time 116 had already been written and 300 remained. In addition, a further 1,250 species were identified as being of ‘conservation concern’. The priority list was reviewed in 1997and in 2007. After the 2007 revision the total number of BAP priority species was set at 1149. This list is available in Biodiversity Reporting and Information Group Report on the Species and Habitat Review 2007. 8.2 The four scientific criteria that were used to select the UK BAP species in the 2007 review were; • International threat • International responsibility & moderate decline in the UK • Marked decline in the UK • Other important factors – where quantitative data on decline are inadequate but there is convincing evidence of extreme threat Local Species Action Plans for Buckinghamshire 8.3 On the publication of the Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes BAP in 2000 it was planned that every species present in Bucks for which there is a national SAP or Conservation Statement, would eventually have a local SAP or Conservation Statement. SAPs would also be written for species which may not be considered a national priority, but which are threatened or declining within the County, such as green- winged orchid. 8.4 The following Plans were produced for species within Buckinghamshire. y Chiltern Gentian y Green-winged Orchid y Striped Lychnis Moth As Latin names were used in the original publication of the action plans for Chiltern gentian, green-winged orchid and striped lychnis moth, they have been retained in the following part of the document.

  • Butterfly Conservation Event Can Be Seen by Clicking Here
    Upper Thames Branch Moth Sightings Archive - January to June 2007 On Friday 29th June Dave Wilton carried out his transect in Finemere Wood and in the evening ran his overnight moth trap in his Westcott garden: "Moths seen in Finemere Wood were Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet (3), Clouded Border (2), Marbled White Spot (1) and Silver Y (1). My garden Robinson trap produced my first reasonable catch for a week or two, with more than 400 moths from about 80 species ending up in the trap. Best of the bunch were Lappet and Scarce Silver-lines, with Scarce Footman, Clay, Smoky Wainscot, Olive, Pleuroptya ruralis/Mother of Pearl and Phycitodes binaevella also new for my garden year list. The following evening a Blackneck came to our kitchen window light." Phycitodes binaevella Scarce Silver-lines Blackneck Photo © Dave Wilton Photo © Dave Wilton Photo © Dave Wilton ~ Thursday 28th June 2007 ~ Dave Wilton sent this moth report on 27th June: "On 26th June I was foolish enough to run my actinic trap at Westcott even though the temperature fell to 8 degrees Celsius overnight. The result was a pitiful catch of 64 moths from 17 species. Compare that to the same day last year when I got 800 moths in the Robinson! The poor weather of the past few days seems to have had a drastic effect on catches all across the country although last night did produce one new species for me, the Short-cloaked Moth. Looking on the bright side, thanks to Peter Hall and his microscope I do now have a few additions to the UTB list from back in April: Dichrorampha acuminatana, Elachista canapennella, Dipleurina lacustrata, Eudonia truncicolella and Parornix anglicella were all trapped in my garden, Rhopobota stagnana (B&F 1161, formerly Griselda stagnana) was found in the disused railway cutting west of Westcott Airfield and Pammene argyrana was caught in Rushbeds Wood." Also, while doing a butterfly transect in Finemere Wood on 20th June, Dave kicked up a Crambus perlella from the grass.

    Berkshire Buckinghamshire Oxfordshire Conservation Report 2018 Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) BBOWT’s impact on the biodivesity of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Debbie Lewis, Ecology Manager, Feb 2019 Acknowledgements The survey data contained within this report have been diligently collected and processed by many hundreds of volunteers, staff and contractors for more than 15 years, and we would like to express our thanks for their time, effort and dedication in collecting all this invaluable information. We would also like to thank the many and varied volunteers who help the Trust carry out conservation management on nature reserves and in the wider countryside; without their help we would be unable to make such an amazing positive difference to local wildlife. The Conservation Report was written by the Biodiversity Team with significant input (especially the case studies) from a large number of other staff whose time and assistance was crucial in being able to deliver the report. Finally but definitely not least, we would also like to thank all the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust members, donors and grant giving bodies whose financial support makes our work possible. Special thanks go to: Colin Williams and Andy Coulson-Phillips for their work on the case studies, and to Andy Fairbairn for data processing. Other contributors include Haidrun Breith, Sam Cartwright, Simon Claybourne, Lisa Lane, Martyn Lane, Julia Lofthouse, Marcus Militello, Hilary Phillips, Kate Prudden, Neil Rowntree, Roger Stace, Giles Strother, Mark Vallance, Jude Verdon, Nicky Warden and Pim Young Cover image by David Mole 1 Contents Executive summary ……………………………………………. 3 1.
