Our Vision for the Windrush Catchment Our vision is that the Windrush catchment is clean and full of wildlife, managed sustainably and valued by all. This plan is about managing the Windrush catchment in order to achieve our vision. 2. Introduction This document has been compiled by the Windrush Catchment Partnership and is intended to provide an overview of the main challenges and opportunities for the production of clean water and healthy freshwater habitats in the Windrush catchment. It will act as a source of information as well as outlining the priorities and plans of the Windrush Catchment Partnership. It complements strategic documents such as the Thames River Basin Management Plan (see Appendix 2: Further Information) and highlights actions needed to improve the Windrush waterbodies under the EU Water Framework Directive (see Appendix 1: Background to the Catchment Based Approach). This plan is intended to be accessible to any organisations and individuals interested in the Windrush catchment and/or the Windrush Catchment Partnership. Technical language has been kept to a minimum and descriptions are brief to ensure the plan is of readable length. Appendix 2 provides further reading for those

    BOURTON-ON-THE-WATER CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT Planning guidance for owners, occupiers and developers Bourton-on-the-Water lies in the broad valley of the River Windrush and is one of the largest villages in the district. It is recognised as one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Cotswolds. The centre of the village is picturesque, with ornamental low stone bridges spanning the clear waters of the River Windrush, and a broad village green flanked by many fine Cotswold stone buildings, all providing the setting for one of the most photographed Cotswold scenes. The aim of the conservation area is to conserve and enhance the older parts of the village, while maintaining a balance between tourism and the natural beauty of Bourton-on-the-Water.

  • Conservation in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, 1942-65, from the Diaries of Charles Elton K
    Walking back in Time: Conservation in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, 1942-65, from the Diaries of Charles Elton K. J. Kirby . Summary The diaries of Charles Elton, a father of community ecology, give details of over 300 visits in the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire between 1940 and 1965 (excluding those made to Wytham Woods near Oxford that are reported separately). The entries illustrate the changes that took place in the countryside in the post-war period; the idiosyncrasies of protected site selection at that time; and some of the management challenges that had to be overcome. Though inevitably a partial record they provide insights relevant to modern conservation. Modern conservationists should ensure that at least the equivalent record is passed on to future generations. Introduction Charles S. Elton, FRS, CBE (1900-1991) was one of the fathers of community ecology (Elton 1966) and the first editor of the Journal of Animal Ecology. He created and directed the Bureau of Animal Population from 1932 until his retirement in 1965 (Crowcroft 1991). The Bureau was absorbed into the Department of Zoology and Elton continued to have an office there for some years after his retirement. He was also a key figure in the early years of the Nature Conservancy which was set up in 1949, the forerunner of Natural England and the other statutory conservation agencies, and was involved in discussions on which sites should be become reserves or Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). Figure 1. Elton (in the middle, holding nets) with students in the 1950s. Elton lived in north Oxford and there is a commemoration plaque in the pavement in Park Town.
