It is likely to still be up in my hall even when you come to read this, assuming you do before 2nd February! In the church we celebrate Candlemas on 2nd February, marking the official end of Christmas. We remember how Jesus was presented in the Temple at Jerusalem, as was customary according to the Jewish law. There, in the temple, Jesus is received by Simeon, who has been promised by God that he won’t die before he has seen God’s promised Saviour. Jesus is spoken of as the light for all people and Simeon prays contentedly that he might now ‘depart in peace’, confident of the future since God has kept his promise. It isn’t at all clear from the story how Simeon knows that this particular child is the promised one, but whether from gut instinct or conversation with Mary and Joseph, Simeon does know and that knowledge enables him to embrace his death with peace. Doubtless for each of us the New Year is already bringing new challenges and opportunities. Perhaps many of us made resolutions at the start of the year, which now only a few weeks in we’re already discovering are falling by the wayside. We’re constantly having to reassess things – situations, possibilities – often having to let things go, move on from them or through them. It can be extremely hard to do, especially if we feel things are taken from us or outside of our control. What reassurance do you need to handle these ‘little deaths’ well, so that you can accept them contentedly and without resentment, blessing them and letting them go? It is often the details in the Bible stories which I so love. In this story it is the detail and the image of Simeon taking the baby Jesus in his arms. We have no idea whether Simeon was a father or not; no idea whether he was confident or anxious when it came to handling six week old infants! But whichever way, confident or unsure of himself, he does hold Jesus close. Simeon’s gaze, full of life’s joys and sorrows, turns its attention to the small, round, smooth face of a 4 young baby, starting out on life, full of wonder and promise. I hope their eyes met. I hope Simeon saw the light and the life in this particular child’s eyes; just one seemingly small encounter with God can be enough for renewed hope, fresh strength, and the ability to bless even the toughest things in life. When at last I pack my Christmas tree away, there’s one final job I’ll have to do. My tree is looking beautiful, decorated with 120 white lights…well, 119 actually as a bulb has gone and needs replacing. It’s just one bulb, which at the moment is hidden discreetly, so it’s only a small piece of light which is missing but I don’t want to pack the set away incomplete for another year. I hope this year brings each of you many small pieces of light and that you take the time to stop, look and engage closely with them, whether they come to you readily and naturally or require some courage! It is only as we engage with the light, often small and fragile, that we find the strength to live at peace with the darkness. Elizabeth St Peter’s Pitton There will be a lay led service at 11am on Sunday 9th February With Sara Bossom and Guest Speaker Cliff Lodge from Emmaus on White Hill “Prayer Works: How we grew our Church” Come and join us and hear all about it!

The proceeds were split equally between the Save the Children Fund and the St.Mary’s Church Heating Fund. Enid had lived at West Dean for the last 30 years following the passing of her husband, Hubert John GRAY in 1980. They had been married in St.Mary’s Church in 1966 and had spent 14 happy years together in their bungalow at Laverstock. Enid was a great lover of people all of her life and it was my pleasure to have been able to care for her intimately during her last 600 days on planet earth… The memoir, which I found amongst her personal effects, spoke vividly of her memories of growing up at Dean Farm in post WW1 England. Her father, one of 7 She attributed her strong Christian faith to her mother who had worked in the Voluntary Aid Detachment when Oxford Infirmary was used as a military hospital.

Thank you everyone for attending and all the readers and donations of wine for the hot toddy. Ladies as always you did a fantastic work on the flowers, they looked superb.

As you will all know, Steve Laurence who had been the Coordinator of the Bat Group for many years decided to retire, so to keep the group going I was persuaded to take on the role. I’m really glad I did, because it is obvious there is still a massive appetite from bat workers in Wiltshire to go out and get involved, to carry on with cutting edge scientific studies and projects and to promote the bat conservation cause. I’m now really pleased to hand the role over into the capable hands of Richard Dodd.

  • South-Central England Regional Action Plan
    Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths.

  • The Hills Group and Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Landfill Communities Fund 2015/16 Report
    The Hills Group and Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Landfill Communities Fund 2015/16 Report Common Spotted Orchid – Clattinger Farm Nature Reserve 2015 Introduction The financial support provided by The Hills Group through the Landfill Communities Fund is vital in protecting biodiversity and enhancing public access and enjoyment to some of the most precious of Britain’s wildlife sites. The unique relationship between The Hills Group and Wiltshire Wildlife Trust has resulted in the protection, maintenance and enhancement of Wiltshire’s natural environment for the benefit of wildlife and people. This brief report illustrates some of the work made possible by the generous support by The Hills Group during 2015/16. Wiltshire Wildlife Trust is very grateful for the support and encouragement provided by The Hills Group and the enduring legacy that this is providing for the people of Wiltshire and beyond. Dr Gary Mantle MBE Chief Executive 26th January, 2016 Lowland Neutral Meadows Landfill Tax amount allocated: £143,545 Over the past 60 years the traditional hay meadows of lowland England have disappeared fast, with just 2‐3% remaining. These meadows are a beautiful reminder of a time when our countryside was full of wildlife and it was normal to hear the song of the skylark (declined by 75% since the late 1970s) and fields were awash with colourful wildflowers buzzing with the sound of countless insects and graced with clouds of butterflies. Fortunately Wiltshire remains a stronghold for the remaining meadows and thanks to the continuing support of The Hills Group through the Landfill Communities Fund, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust has been able to protect maintain and enhance these precious jewels.

News from some of the Project Sites Spring saw the completion of the work at Bentley Wood which had been funded by SITA, the work had run over two years and was aimed at creating additional habitat for Pearl-bordered Fritillary in particular. Areas opened up in year one were already being used by ‘the Pearls’ this spring, proof that when good quality habitat becomes available butterflies can quickly move in of their own accord!

At Upper Frenchmoor Copse a combination of volunteers, and contractors funded by the Forestry Commission, worked to create not only lots of rideside butterfly habitat, but also the installation of new tracks that will allow future work to be carried out more economically. Just to the west of Upper Frenchmoor Copse a walk along an old drove route looking for butterflies revealed the presence of a number of previously unrecorded Small-leafed Lime trees, a rare species nowadays around the area.
