SOCIAL SECRETARY Chris Southwell will be our next Social Secretary. A big thank you to Chris! At the AGM Kathy told us she will be standing down as Social Secretary later this year. We all know what a great job Kathy has done; Chris will be working with her over the next few months to ensure a smooth transition. Also thank you to the volunteers who have offered to help, all offers gratefully accepted, many hands make light work. THANK YOU TO OUR WALK LEADERS A warm welcome to our new leaders Jessica : Jean : Tony : Marie & Michael WALKS FOR THE NEXT PROGRAMME More volunteers to lead walks are still needed. We've managed to fill nearly all the slots in this programme, but it's becoming increasingly difficult as age catches up with some of our most experienced leaders. CHANGES TO WALKS IN THE PROGRAMME In the last few months unsafe ground conditions and scheduled road closures have been forced us to cancel some walks. There are several ways to keep up to date with these changes - Look at the updates on the group web site : Google calendar users can link up to the Group calendar and have all our walks at a glance with updates sent automatically (see the web site for details) : sign up for our urgent news e mails e mailing members with urgent news. Many members have been receiving these e mails, but if you aren't on the list yet and you'd like to be on the circulation please give your latest e mail address to Chris Frost (contact details on page 15) SOCIAL EVENTS AND SPECIAL WALKS Thanks to Mary and Jed for the Quiz Night. Thanks to Kathy and her team for the Pre Christmas Lunch : New Year's Day Social : New Year's Dinner. We can look forward to the Chairman’s Walk which is followed by tea & cakes, and where we would love to hear your thoughts on the way the group promotes itself and any ideas you have of attracting new members see page 8 for details. In June we can look forward Sue’s walk and lunch at Hyde and the coach trip to Bath. More details and the booking form are in the "Social Scene" on pages 12 and 13. NEWS OF MEMBERS Sadly we have to report the deaths of our leaders Mary Deveraux, Mavis Murphy amd Margaret Holcombe. Page 2 WORKING PARTY There will be a footpath maintenance working party in Sway parish on the afternoon of. Saturday 16th May.

Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.

  • South-Central England Regional Action Plan
    Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths.

In 2012 we marked the centenary of the founding of the Society for the Protection of Nature Reserves by Charles Rothschild, known today as the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts. This year we have undergone a period of transition. We have developed a new Strategic Plan through to 2019, and restructured the organisation to meet our objectives more efficiently and effectively. We have set up a subsidiary trading company to take advantage of profitable business opportunities which arise from our conservation activities.
