  • The Life & Times of Mortimer Forest
    The Life & Times of Mortimer Forest Mortimer Forest Marked trails All Ability Trail - 1.6 km (1 mile) Vinnalls Loop Trail - 4.8 km (3 miles) Whitcliffe Climbing Jack Trail - 4.5 km (9 miles) Car Park Black Pool Loop Trail - 2.4 km (1.5 miles) Whitcliffe Loop Trail - 3.3 km (2 miles) Vinnalls Car Park Black Pool Car Park 1 km Foreword Woodlands are important places for butterflies and moths with 16 of Britain’s butterflies considered woodland specialists and 380 of the larger moths. Butter- flies and moths form an important part of the food chain for bats and birds, have a key role to play as pollinators and are good biodiversity indicators as they respond rapidly to changing environments. The Mortimer Forest is a significant area of woodland because of its size, the range of butterflies and moths that have been recorded, and its location in a larger wooded landscape. I first visited when I carried out survey work for fritil- lary butterflies, which are in serious decline nationally, in the early 1990s and it is somewhere I have grown to appreciate more and more on subsequent visits. While there have been occasional butterfly and moth records from Mortimer Forest since then, the Forest has never had the equivalent levels of recording of other forests of similar size, largely as a result of its rural position and the lack of a local recording group. For the past three years, Butterfly Conservation has been working in close partnership with the Forestry Commission with the aim of engaging with communities and encouraging them to become involved with the surveying of butterflies and moths and with practical conservation work.

Just as local authorities such as Herefordshire Council can produce development plans to promote, guide and control development of houses, businesses, open spaces, so too, now, can parish councils, by preparing a Neighbourhood Development Plan. 1.2 The significance of this is that when the Neighbourhood Development Plan is “made” it will become part of the development plan for the area.

  • A Geological Trail in Front of the Last Glacier in South Shropshire By
    A Geological Trail in front of the last glacier in South Shropshire By Michael Rosenbaum Figure 1. General view looking north from Mortimer Forest towards Onibury (centre top), across the sandur (fluvioglacial outwash plain) created by the melting of glaciers that came from Wales, eastwards over Clun Forest. One glacial lobe is believed to have come eastwards through the col by Downton Castle (to the left of the above view) and perhaps terminated in the centre of the field of view. Another lobe reached Craven Arms and perhaps then turned southwards towards Onibury (in the centre distance). This landscape has also been modified by erosion as the River Teme, diverted eastwards from Aymestry by a major glacier coming from the Wye Valley to the south, rejuvenated erosion and transportation of weathered material from the Silurian mudstones that underlie the lower ground in the field of view. These alluvial processes were significantly assisted by periglacial weathering, especially solifluction, leaving behind an intricate pattern of small curved steep-sided valleys.
