  • Cambridge Nature Network Final Report
    Cambridge Nature Network Final Report FOREWORD I’m delighted to introduce this important report. For years, now, we have known we need to ensure nature’s recovery, and for years that has been an all-too-elusive ambition. In fact, we are still overseeing nature’s decline. It’s a ship that simply must be turned around. Now we have a clear way forward. This report, building on the ambition to double nature in Cambridgeshire, tells us precisely how and where we can do it. Working from the ground up, looking at real places and the actual state of nature, it offers for the first time a tangible plan for the revitalisation of nature in the 10km around the city of Cambridge, based on what is already there and how it can be brought back to life. And there’s more. Fully integrated with the vision for nature recovery is one for the enhancement and creation of green spaces for public recreation and refreshment – vital needs, as we have come to understand fully during the covid-19 crisis. The risk with nature recovery is that in our enthusiasm we may do the wrong thing in the wrong place: plant trees on peat or valuable grassland, or put hedgerows in where the landscape should be open. This report will ensure we do the right thing in the right place. It provides a place-based analysis of where existing nature sites can be enhanced, what kind of nature-friendly farming to encourage, how to create stepping-stones to create new, linked nature networks, and how, overall, the ambition for doubling nature can be met.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all of them. Firstly, we would like to express the deepest appreciation to Jon Balaam (Director of Development at The Greensand Trust) and Jack Rhodes for imparting their knowledge and expertise in this project. We would like to thank our supervisors, Paul Leinster, Tim Brewer and Mónica Rivas Casado for their guidance, technical knowledge and support during the development of the project. Finally, we are thankful to the Bedfordshire Local Nature Partnership for entrusting this interesting project to us. i Executive Summary The East-West Rail Consortium (EWRC) aims to join urban areas in the south and east Midlands with East Anglia, creating a link between Norwich, Cambridge, Bedford, Milton-Keynes and Oxford. The development of this ‘Oxbridge’ corridor area is divided into three sections: Western, Central and Eastern sections. Within each section, important demographic growth is expected and would need to be supported through creation of new settlements, jobs and infrastructure.

  • Analysis of Sites Where Regular Species Monitoring Activities Are Undertaken in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough
    Analysis of sites where regular species monitoring activities are undertaken in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough As part of our memorandum of agreement with Natural England and the Environment Agency for 2013-14, we have been asked to identify sites where individuals or groups are carrying out species surveys in a structured and repeated manner, whether as part of national monitoring programmes, or independently. We initiated the process by collating publicly-available sites in monitoring schemes such as the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS) or the British Trust for Ornithology’s (BTO) Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS) and data provided by the Wildlife Trust for Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire (WTBCN) from their reserve monitoring and Ecology Groups programmes. This collated list was then distributed to our county recorders and other naturalists, and numerous additions were then added by these individuals and organisations. A summary of the sites, taxa and method if known are presented overleaf. We aim to use this information as the basis for transferring the methods within currently monitored sites, and for widening the network of regular monitoring by promoting these survey methods to individuals and groups keen to learn and adopt such methods for their sites. We are also aware that the Cambridge Bryophyte Group survey across the whole county, and aim to revisit every site on a 10 year cycle. Similarly, the Cambridge Lichen group are resurveying sites visited in the 1960s and 19770s, especially churchyards, and then hope to try and revisit sites every 10 years, but this form of long-term surveillance is hard to document in the format presented here.
