BBOWT reserve wardens have been using their Alpine Tractor at Chinnor, Oakley and Aston Rowant with Nicole, Giles and volunteers clearing scrub and brambles. They are also working with Natural England to explore how they work closer with the use of the Alpine Tractor, training and volunteers. The Forest school based at Chinnor Hill is thriving and may expand. One of the big issues at Warburg and Chinnor Hill is Ash dieback; they have done a survey on the potential impact on their reserves and will use that information to inform future management. 2.

    Ashmolean Natural History Society of Oxfordshire Rare Plants Group 2009 Newsletter Birthwort, Aristolochia clematitis Photo: Charles Hayward www.oxfordrareplants.org.uk INTRODUCTION It was such a relief not to have a desperately wet summer in 2009 as the last two were, and what a joy when Creeping Marshwort came popping up in sheets on Port Meadow after an absence of 18 months. Photo 1(left): 1 June 2009. Port Meadow showing the flood-water retreating and mud flats exposed. Photo: Camilla Lambrick Photo 2 (right): 1 June 2009. Southern part of Port Meadow, a former Creeping Marshwort area, now drying mud. Graham Scholey of the Environment Agency and Rebecca Tibbetts of Natural England assess the situation. Photo: Camilla Lambrick Alas Fen Violet is still in trouble at Otmoor – perhaps not dry and warm early enough for this very early species. The Fen Violet exercised us most during 2009 by way of a meeting with specialists from Plantlife and Northern Ireland, in a nation-wide discussion of radical actions notably for introduction on RSPB land. True Fox-sedge looks to be well set-up for the future now that extensive introductions by BBOWT have proved successful. Other plants seem to get on well by themselves – Birthwort (see front cover picture and report on page 4) seems to be proliferating in the ditches of a medieval nunnery just north of Oxford city. Progress continues towards the Oxfordshire Rare Plants Register; photographs are being amassed, and thanks to Ellen Lee’s masterly command of the records we now have some 4000 new records beginning to take form as eye-catching maps.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Chinnor Neighbourhood Plan was made in October 2017. 1.2 In the closing stages of the preparation of Chinnor's Neighbourhood Plan, the December 2016 Ministerial Statement made provision that neighbourhood plans that allocated sites for housing were considered up to date when a three-year housing land supply could be demonstrated.

  • The Baldons and Nuneham Courtenay Newsletter April 2021
    The Baldons and Nuneham Courtenay Newsletter April 2021 FROM REVEREND TERESA STEWART-SYKES Over the past year we’ve all learned some new vocabulary, nearly all of which has been linked to the pandemic. This year’s new word is ‘roadmap’, and the concept of a roadmap came to my mind as I was marking out a labyrinth in the churchyard of St Leonard and St Catherine in Drayton St Leonard. The similarities between the two are striking. Like a roadmap a labyrinth, in contrast to a maze, has both a fixed entry point and a fixed route to its centre; there is only one path to follow. Also like a roadmap, a labyrinth has opportunities to pause and reflect, on what has happened in the past and on what the future might hold. The purpose of both is to journey to a new way of being. Whilst a roadmap is a new concept, labyrinths have fascinated many cultures throughout history, it is an art form that can be traced back 4000 years. The mosaic floors of Roman villas, for example, sometimes included the pattern of a labyrinth. In the mediaeval period, the church began to use labyrinths as a tool for meditative prayer and many churches have a labyrinth depicted in the flooring of the nave; Chartres Cathedral built in the 13th century is a most famous example. In the modern times, amidst the busyness and stress of our lives, using a labyrinth to walk slowly and to reflect has become a very popular form of mindfulness and prayer.

  • 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.
