2020 UCCWG Short Report
Upper Clun Community Wildlife Group www.ShropsCWGs.co.uk Annual Report 2020 Summary The full report can be found on the website Birds We found 6-8 breeding pairs of Curlew. All are on high ground above 350m. in the west. The population has declined steadily since our first survey found 21-22 pairs in 2007. We have no evidence that any young fledged. We are working with the Shropshire Ornithological Society Save our Curlews Campaign. In 2018 and 2019 we found nests and protected them with electric fences, then attached radio tags to chicks when they hatched, to see how they used the landscape and what happened to them. We wanted to do the same this year, but were prevented by Covid19. We will do it again next year. Lapwings declined from 6 pairs in 2004 by around a pair a year up until 2010; only two pairs have been found since, both in 2012. No young are known to have fledged since 2008, so Lapwings appear to be extinct as a breeding species. Snipe have disappeared too, the last known breeding on Rhos Fiddle in 2009. Kestrels are declining, and only one nest was found. Six Red Kite nests were found including a new one. At least five nests were successful, producing a total of at least 8 young. Red Kite is a conservation success story. First breeding in the area was in 2007, and since then a total of 51 nests have been found, of which 35 were successful, producing 51 young. Dippers inhabit the fast-flowing rocky streams. -
How Family Farms in the Shropshire Hills AONB Are Adapting To
How family farms in the Shropshire Hills AONB 1 are adapting to agricultural change Vicky Wooda and David Gibbonb a. Farming Community Officer, Shropshire Hills AONB, [email protected] b. Agricultural and Rural Livelihood Systems, UK [email protected] Keywords: family farms, uplands, agri-environmental schemes, diversification, sustainability Abstract Family farms in the Shropshire Hills are important as food producers, but are also vital in maintaining the special landscapes of this area, as well as contributing to the rural economy and to local community development. However, managing an upland family farm as an economically sustainable business and livelihood in today’s agricultural climate is challenging. Previous data collected for this area showed that: average incomes are low, succession is problematic for all as the average age of the farmers is almost 60, many farmers work very long hours without help in terms of time and labour and there is an overall sense of isolation from the local community by many. The paper presents a cross section of family farm case studies in the Shropshire Hills, examining how these farms have changed, or are planning to change, their mode of action in order to address the challenge of running an economically sustainable family farm. The paper looks at six farms, examining their uptake of agri-environmental schemes and any changes in farm management that such schemes may have prompted, examples of diversification such as eco- tourism, links with local markets and consumers, and farm long-term financial viability. The main conclusion from this study is that farmers adopt very different strategies and enterprises which are intended to make their livelihoods more sustainable, so there is clearly not one model that is successful in all circumstances. -

An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period. -

It introduced Neighbourhood Planning into the hierarchy of spatial planning in England, giving communities the right to shape their future development at a local level. It is a powerful tool in that it has statutory weight and must be taken as a material consideration in planning decision-making. 1.2 The National Planning Policy Framework highlights that Neighbourhood Planning gives communities power to develop a shared vision for their area and that Neighbourhood Plans can help to deliver sustainable development. -
