  • Wiltshire Botany 1, 1997, Pages 1-2 EDITORIAL Wiltshire Botanical
    Wiltshire Botany 1, 1997, pages 1-2 EDITORIAL Wiltshire Botanical Society was founded in 1992. A large group of enthusiasts had been recruited and trained to observe and record wild plants in Wiltshire during the work for the 1993 Flora of Wiltshire. It was felt to be important to maintain this joint interest and activity. The Society was therefore inaugurated to act as a focus for its continuation. The aims of the Society, as enshrined it its constitution, are; • To encourage anyone interested in plants, both beginners and knowledgeable botanists. • To be a forum where members can learn more about plants and exchange ideas and information, eg by holding field and indoor meetings and by producing a newsletter. • To organize projects and working groups to study aspects of the Wiltshire flora. • To encourage a respect for and conservation of the Wiltshire flora and habitats. • To study and extend knowledge of the Wiltshire flora. The Society has maintained its membership, which now numbers 80-90, and has organized a consistently interesting programme of events. An informative and interesting newsletter has appeared regularly. A wide range of detailed work on the Wiltshire flora has been undertaken. To encourage and coordinate this work, a Science Group was set up in 1994. Its aims, summarized from the more comprehensive account in its minutes, are: • To encourage, advise and guide recording activities. • To play a part in the planning of meetings and workshops to maximise their educational impact. To facilitate identification of plant material. • To organize and publish records. • To ensure that surveys and other projects are carried out in as effective and scientific a manner as possible.

  • Wiltshire Yews an Inventory of Churchyard Yews Along the Ebble Valley
    Wiltshire Yews An Inventory of Churchyard Yews Along the Ebble Valley By Peter Norton 1 Introduction: This report is the second of five observations of churchyard yews in and around the rivers Wylye, Ebble, Nadder and Bourne that converge with the Salisbury/Hampshire Avon as it flows through the Salisbury area. The Ebble is a fine chalk stream rising to the east of Berwick St John and just above the village of Alvediston, some twelve miles to the west of Salisbury and then converging with the Avon two miles south of Salisbury at Bodenham. Its major tributary the Chalke rises in Bowerchalke and converges with the Ebble at Mount Sorrel in Broad Chalke. All of the villages along this route were included, with thirteen churchyards visited. Of these eleven contained yew trees, and although many of those mentioned are small in stature compared to some of the giants already recorded within the Yew Gazetteer, it was felt that as time progresses, these younger trees will become our future giants for the next generations of yew enthusiasts. A total of twenty seven trees were noted at these sites of which eighteen had measurements recorded. (See graph below which has been grouped by girth and does not include any estimated* values.) Imperial measurements were taken during the recording exercise and converted to Metric. Please note that in multiple individual tree measurements only the lowest to the root/ground was used for this graph. Measured Yew Trees by Girth Range 10 s e e r t f o r e b m 5 u N 0 0.5M 1.0M 1.5M 2.0M 2.5M 3.0M 3.5M 4.0M 4.5M 5.0M to to to to to to to to to to 1.0M 1.5M 2.0M 2.5M 3.0M 3.5M 4.0M 4.5M 5.0M 0.0M Where Irish Yews were significant in number at the documented churchyards, they are also included in this report.
