Report-back from Earth Festival stakeholder meetings along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site

November 2010

1

A series of three meetings were held in November 2012 in Lyme Regis, Lulworth and Portland to discuss the Jurassic Coast Earth festival, which will be taking place between 4 May and 9 September 2012. (The East Devon meeting was postponed due to severe weather warnings and is rescheduled for 13 January 2011.)

The Jurassic Coast Earth Festival is being led by the Lyme Regis Development Trust, and these events were run with invaluable input by various members of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Team – which is supporting the development and implementation of the Earth Festival.

The aims of the meetings were to:

communicate the themes and opportunities provided by the Jurassic Coast Earth Festival 2012



inspire participation in the festival and stimulate new initiatives create connections within and between communities along the Jurassic Coast

These were attended by over 80 people, comprising artists and arts organisations, venues, museums, local authority officers, councillors, community initiatives, visitor centres, conservation organisations including the National Trust, Dorset and Devon AONB, Natural England, Countryside Rangers, schools, media and others.

A preliminary website www.earthfestival2012.org has since been created which contains information on the scope and aims of the Earth Festival. This will be added to as soon as possible in order to incorporate information about key events in planning, as they emerge,

as well as a ‘back end’ facility to enable networking and project development between

various initiatives. Copies of main presentations are being emailed to participants and available to download from the website, as are Earth festival Project/Event planning Proformas. Below are the notes from the flipcharts capturing project ideas and plans which were brought to the

meetings. Many thanks and best wishes Candida Blaker Lyme Regis Development Trust, Jurassic Coast Earth Festival 2012

Suggestion to map activities in quarries to include all various initiatives – this could be done by PSQT in Portland (then extend to whole festival)

Earth Festival Passport (stamp book to record visits and give promotional offers). Use a social network forum as a holding space until a website can be developed. Good way to sustain links etc between contributors. Paul (PSQT).

The policy is to prohibit the use of disposable BBQs and the lighting of campfires/wildfires at any of Dorset Council’s country parks and other Dorset Council land that is deemed high risk for fire. It also promotes a key message against the general use of disposable BBQ’s and lighting of campfires/wildfires across all Dorset Council areas that are deemed to be highly sensitive to fires such as heathland, dry grassland. Through this policy Dorset Council will also call for other organisations and landowners to restrict the use of disposable BBQ’s and having campfires/wildfires on their own land where it is deemed to be a fire related risk and/or where there are protected and special habitats and wildlife that would be at risk from fire. The Policy will be used by managers, wardens, officers within Dorset Council including those at each of the country parks to reinforce the clear and consistent message rather than having separate rules and messaging relating to disposable BBQ’s use and the lighting of campfires/wildfires. The policy will enable Dorset Council to carry out public communications highlighting this policy to Dorset residents, visitors, businesses and organisations.
