    Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve Oyster fungus on birch, Birklands Introduction In the heart of Nottinghamshire lie the ancient forests of Birklands and Budby, an extensive area of old pasture-woodland and heathland on the dry nutrient-poor soils © Peter Wakely/Natural England © Peter Wakely/Natural of the Sherwood Sandstone. Together they represent a rare and wonderful fragment of the great forest of Sherwood, one of the most famous forests in the world. Today, over 420 hectares of this internationally important forest is now managed as a National Nature Reserve (NNR). © Peter Wakely/Natural England © Peter Wakely/Natural Ancient wood-pasture, Birklands “By itself it stands, and is like no other spot on which my eyes have looked, or my feet have ever England © Peter Wakely/Natural trod. It is Birkland...” (Charles Reece Pemberton, 1835). Woodland glade, Birklands History Birklands, which is an old Viking word meaning ‘birch land’, was first mentioned in documents in 1251 and is likely to be at least one thousand years old. It was part of the vast Royal Forest of Sherwood that once covered over 41,000 hectares of the county. The wood remained the property of the Crown for nearly 600 years and was used as a source of timber, grazing land and as an exclusive hunting ground rich with wild deer for successive kings and queens of England. Contrary to popular opinion, much of the historic Sherwood Forest was, in fact, tree-less, being dominated by wild open plains of heathland such as Budby South Forest. This uncultivated forest land was once grazed by wild deer, rabbits and livestock; and its trees, gorse and bracken were collected by local people for fuel and fodder.

  • POVERTY, PROTEST and SPORT: POACHING in the EAST MIDLANDS C.1820-C.1900 ROSEMARY MUGE, MA. Thesis Submitted to the University Of
    POVERTY, PROTEST AND SPORT: POACHING IN THE EAST MIDLANDS c.1820-c.1900 ROSEMARY MUGE, MA. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2017 Abstract In the East Midlands counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire levels of poaching equalled or exceeded those in many counties which are thought of as prime poaching areas. Using principally Criminal Registers, Game Laws Returns to Parliament, and local newspapers of the period, this study shows that people poached from three motives: because they were poor; because poaching was a sport; and as a protest. Day and night poachers, including night poaching gangs frequently involved in affrays, pursued their activities undeterred by the efforts at prevention of the landowners, police and courts. Poaching here was predominantly for ground game and declined in the last quarter of the century, but continued to be a source of anger and frustration for game preservers and the authorities to the end of the period. The poaching war in these counties, waged in an area with large aristocratic estates but where extreme game preservation was viewed critically, was not perceived as impacting on law and order in general. This was unlike Lancashire, where the activities of poachers were regarded as being a threat to the fabric of society. The causes of these differences between the East Midlands and Lancashire were rooted in police practice, attitudes to game preservation, and differences in gentry sport and hunting. (Total words in thesis: 90,313) Acknowledgements Having begun to study history twenty years ago and finally submitted this thesis in retirement, there are many people to whom I am beholden.

  • Access Statement for Budby South Forest
    Access Statement for Budby South Forest Please note: this access statement does not contain personal opinions as to our suitability for those with access needs, but aims to accurately describe the facilities and services that we offer all our guests and visitors Introduction Budby South Forest forms half of the Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve (NNR) in Nottinghamshire; home to rare and fascinating wildlife as well as the famous outlaw, Robin Hood. It is an open habitat; a lowland heathland, grassland and wood pasture mosaic, and home to some of our rarest species like nightjars, woodlarks and black oil beetles. Visitors can access Budby from many places by foot using the wide network of paths that link the landscape. Sherwood Forest Country Park hosts the Major Oak and the Visitor Centre (VC) and forms the woodland and wood pasture part of the NNR to the south of Budby. The Forestry Commission woodlands join Budby along the western side. As well as the large visitor car park down the road at the VC there are a few informal parking places in the surrounding area. The paths across Budby South Forest range from surfaced vehicle tracks around the perimeter to informal desire lines through the heathland vegetation - all of which are muddy, rutted and uneven most of the time. Stock fences keep our grazing animals in, and have various crossing points including pedestrian kissing gates, cattle grids, field gates, bridle gates and stiles; the dimensions of some will restrict access to mobility scooters and push chairs. There are routes around the fenced areas using the permissive tracks and Public Rights of Way which are fully accessible, but still rough terrain.
