YCDB Biodiversity Action Plan York Consortium of Drainage Boards Biodiversity Action Plan 2013/2014 Derwent House, Crockey Hill, York, YO19 4SR YORK CONSORTIUM OF DRAINAGE BOARDS BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN 2010-2011 2 YORK CONSORTIUM OF DRAINAGE BOARDS This Biodiversity Action Plan has been prepared by the York Consortium of Internal Drainage Boards in accordance with the commitment in the Implementation Plan of the DEFRA Internal Drainage Board Review for IDBs to produce their own Biodiversity Action Plans. It also demonstrates the Board’s commitment to fulfilling its duty as a public body under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 to conserve biodiversity. Many of the Board’s activities have benefits for biodiversity, not least its water level management and ditch maintenance work. It is hoped that this Biodiversity Action Plan will help the Board to maximise the biodiversity benefits from its activities and demonstrate its contribution to the Government’s UK Biodiversity Action Plan targets. The Board has adopted the Biodiversity Action Plan as one of its policies and is committed to its implementation. It will review the plan periodically and update it as appropriate. ……………………………………………………. Date ………………………………. Bill Symons Clerk/Engineer to the Boards This Biodiversity Action Plan is a public statement by the Board of its biodiversity objectives and the methods by which it intends to achieve them. We would welcome appropriate involvement in the delivery of the Plan from interested organisations, companies, and individuals. You can contact us about this Biodiversity Action Plan by writing to the following address: York Consortium of Drainage Boards Derwent House Crockey Hill York YO19 4SR Email: [email protected] Further

  • 2017 City of York Biodiversity Action Plan
    CITY OF YORK Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2017 City of York Local Biodiversity Action Plan - Executive Summary What is biodiversity and why is it important? Biodiversity is the variety of all species of plant and animal life on earth, and the places in which they live. Biodiversity has its own intrinsic value but is also provides us with a wide range of essential goods and services such as such as food, fresh water and clean air, natural flood and climate regulation and pollination of crops, but also less obvious services such as benefits to our health and wellbeing and providing a sense of place. We are experiencing global declines in biodiversity, and the goods and services which it provides are consistently undervalued. Efforts to protect and enhance biodiversity need to be significantly increased. The Biodiversity of the City of York The City of York area is a special place not only for its history, buildings and archaeology but also for its wildlife. York Minister is an 800 year old jewel in the historical crown of the city, but we also have our natural gems as well. York supports species and habitats which are of national, regional and local conservation importance including the endangered Tansy Beetle which until 2014 was known only to occur along stretches of the River Ouse around York and Selby; ancient flood meadows of which c.9-10% of the national resource occurs in York; populations of Otters and Water Voles on the River Ouse, River Foss and their tributaries; the country’s most northerly example of extensive lowland heath at Strensall Common; and internationally important populations of wetland birds in the Lower Derwent Valley.

New L.B. Recording Scheme Organiser Your new scheme organiser and newsletter editor is Simon Hayhow. For those of you who do not know me I am Curator (Natural Sciences) for Lancashire County Museum Service. I started in the 'South Yorkshire school of entomology', working with Bill Ely at Rotherham Museum and receiving early encouragement from other Sorby Natural History Society members like Derek Whiteley and Austin Brackenbury. I have been recording larger Brachycera for around twenty years but, for several years, Diptera recording did take second place to summer contract work for the R.S.P.B., English Nature and other organisations. I have been a regular attender at Dipterists' Day and the Preston Montford spring meetings. I have also attended several Dipterists' Field Weeks. I am Lancashire Diptera Recorder for the Lancashire and Cheshire Entomology Society and keen to encourage new dipterists in the North West. I may not yet be in the 'premier league' of Stubbs, Drake et al but hope to emulate their work and level of knowledge with the Larger Brachycera. Having taken over from Martin as L.B. Scheme Organiser, I would like to thank him for his hard work over the past ten years, with some notable achievements in promoting the study of the Larger Brachycera, including the publication of a Provisional Atlas in 1991.

  • Habitats Regulation Assessment Scoping Report
    Hambleton District Council Local Plan Habitats Regulations Assessment Scoping Report January 2016 Summary The Habitats Directive1 seeks to protect the integrity of Natura 2000 sites and requires a Habitats Regulations Assessment to be undertaken to assess the implications of the plan or project on Natura 2000 sites, which includes Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA) and RAMSAR sites. The key principle is to adopt the precautionary approach and to preserve the integrity of sites. The sites identified for inclusion in the assessment are: SAC North York Moors Strensall Common River Derwent North Pennine Moors North Pennine Dales Meadows SPA North York Moors North Pennine Moors Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast Ramsar Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast The Hambleton Local Plan will allocate land for housing and commercial development to meet the growth of the District up to 2035. Introduction 1 The Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (Habitats Directive) (Directive 92/34/EEC) Requirement to carry out an assessment under the Habitats Regulations Articles 6 (3) and 6 (4) of the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (Habitats Directive) (Directive 92/43/EEC) require an assessment to be undertaken for plans and projects that are likely to have a significant effect, alone or in combination with other plans and projects, on one or more European sites (Special Protection Areas and Special Areas of Conservation). Article 6(3) states: ‘Any plan or project not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site but likely to have a significant effect thereon, either individually or in combination with other plans and projects, shall be subject to appropriate assessment of its implications for the site in view of the site’s conservation objectives.

    The Post Hole Issue 21 3 Skipwith Common National Nature Reserve { A Journey Through Time Mark Simpson (mailto:[email protected]) For those unfamiliar with the area, Skipwith Common is an area in North Yorkshire comprising 274 hectares of mixed woodland, lowland heath and some wetland regions. The Common is designated as a National Nature Reserve as it represents one of the best examples of a lowland wet and dry heath landscape in northern England with a wealth of special wildlife, geology and history all of which can be enjoyed by the public. This is largely uncultivated land, though down the centuries and even millennia, mankind has used the resources offered by the Common to our own advantage. Figure 1 { Fly Agaric fungi (Image Copyright { Mark Simpson) I first became involved with Skipwith Common almost four years ago. Soon after obtaining my archaeology A Level from Selby College night school in 2007, I spotted an advert in the local newspaper, just a couple of column inches, asking for volunteers to come along and help with an archaeological landscape survey. This was being co-ordinated by a local group of like-minded individuals going by the collective name of the Friends of Skipwith Common. Having a spare holiday day, I booked the time off work and went along. The rest, as they say, is history. I met a number of people I now consider close friends (no pun intended) and learned quite a bit about landscape survey from the archaeological expert present, Jamie Quartermaine. As an experienced project manager with com- mercial group Oxford Archaeology North, he was able to teach the group over http://www.theposthole.org/ 7 The Post Hole Issue 21 the following two years a number of survey techniques as we discovered more about humanity's involvement with this special landscape.
