Hampshire Guide Visiting the Essex Countryside
Visiting the Essex countryside This guide represents the seventh in a series of local guides designed to help parents, carers and teachers to engage children with autism and related disabilities with the natural environment. It should also prove useful to those living and working with adults with autism. It begins by introducing the benefits of visiting the countryside, considering why such experiences are valuable for children with autism. This is followed by a guide to ‘natural’ places to visit in the Essex countryside, featuring twenty-five places that the authors believe many children with autism might enjoy. The guide concludes with a series of case stories set in natural places in Essex, that describe visits by children from local special schools. Supported by ISBN: a guide for parents, carers and 978-0-9934710-4-9 Published by teachers of children with autism David Blakesley and Tharada Blakesley Visiting the Essex countryside a guide for parents, carers and teachers of children with autism David Blakesley and Tharada Blakesley Foreword by Lindsey Chapman i Citation For bibliographic purposes, this book should be referred to as Blakesley, D. and Blakesley, T. 2017.

Appendix L Essex and South Suffolk Shoreline Management Plan 2 Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Environmental Report
Appendix L Essex and South Suffolk Shoreline Management Plan 2 Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Environmental Report Environment Agency April 2010 Final Report 9T4884 NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Introduction This report provides an assessment of the environmental impacts of the Essex and South Suffolk Shoreline Management Plan (SMP). The assessment is informed by the appraisal process within the SMP. The assessment seeks to establish the environmental impacts of the SMP, to evaluate the overall impact of the SMP and to suggest monitoring and mitigation to address any negative impacts. The overriding theme which emerges in this assessment is that the determination of actual impacts is extremely difficult due to the long timeline and uncertainties surrounding the plan and its impacts. The assessment does however confirm that the SMP provides for a wide range of positive impacts, and where negative impacts occur, they are the result of policy which seeks to maintain other environmental values. The Essex and South Suffolk Coast Essex has one of the longest coastlines of any English county, and this study covers approximately 440 km of coast between Landguard Point (the most southerly point of Felixstowe) and Southend. It is an unusual coastline incorporating a series of interlinked estuaries with open coast between them. The estuarine areas are dominated by muddy intertidal flats and saltmarshes, whilst the open coast has more varied features including clay sea cliffs and shingle, sandy and muddy beaches. Overall the coastline is predominantly low lying and protected by flood embankments or sea walls, together with groynes. As areas have been reclaimed from the sea, significant amounts of grazing marsh are at or below sea level. -
Essex Bat Group Newsletter 2016 Autumn
Autumn Newsletter 2016 Project News Brief updates from a few Essex Woodland Bat Project of our current studies EWBP is only a few months old and we have already surveyed sixteen woods using our four static detectors and recorded barbastelle in four of them, significantly extending the known range of this species in the county. Site owners and managers have proved to be very keen and co-operative and about thirty EBG members have been involved in deployment of detectors. Of great interest is the discovery of barbastelle at Stour Wood, a sweet chestnut wood and RSPB reserve on the Stour estuary near Harwich. Together with the adjacent Copperas Wood, this site is fairly isolated, with no other woods nearby and a landscape dominated by large arable fields. Hillhouse Wood (near Colchester), Shut Heath Wood (near Tiptree) and Blakes Wood (Danbury) are also ‘new’ sites for this species and records from Chalkney Wood (Earls Colne) confirm an earlier record. Each deployment, usually covering seven nights, yielded up to 10,000 recordings, so drawing up a species list for each site has had to wait until the winter. Barbastelles are relatively active at this time of year, so we will continue using the static detectors through the winter to see what levels of activity we find at two sites where this species occurs - Marks Hall Estate (a hibernation site) and Writtle Forest (a group of more typical Essex woods). Essex Nathusius’ Pipistrelle Project We enjoyed several local successes this year, against a backdrop of major developments in the national study of this species. -

Local Wildlife Site Review (2008)
TENDRING DISTRICT LOCAL WILDLIFE SITE REVIEW 2008 TENDRING DISTRICT COUNCIL LOCAL WILDLIFE SITE REVIEW 2008 Draft Issued April 2009 Final Edition September 2009 Prepared by Essex Ecology Services Ltd. EECOS Abbotts Hall Farm, Great Wigborough, Colchester, Essex, CO5 7RZ 01621 862986, [email protected] Company Registered No. 2853947 VAT Registered No. 623 4432 65 IMPORTANT NOTES Nomenclature The terms "Site of Importance for Nature Conservation" (SINC) and County Wildlife Site (CoWS) used in previous reports are here replaced by the currently generally accepted term of “Local Wildlife Site” (LoWS). Rationale It is hoped that this identification of Local Wildlife Sites is not seen as a hindrance to the livelihood of those landowners affected, or an attempt to blindly influence the management of such sites. It is an attempt to describe the wildlife resource we have in the county as a whole, which has been preserved thus far as a result of the management by landowners. The Essex Wildlife Trust and the Local and Unitary Authorities of Essex hope to be able to help landowners retain and enhance this biodiversity for the future. In recent years, the existence of a Local Wildlife Site on a farm has been seen as an advantage when applying for grant-aid from agri-environment schemes, with such grants favouring areas with a proven nature conservation interest. Public Access Identification as a Local Wildlife Site within this report does not confer any right of public access to the site, above and beyond any Public Rights of Way that may exist. The vast majority of the Sites are in private ownership and this should be respected at all times. -

The Essex Field Club
THE ESSEX FIELD CLUB HEADQUARTERS: THE PASSMORE EDWARDS MUSEUM, ROMFORD ROAD, STRATFORD, LONDON, E15 4LZ NEWSLETTER NO. 15 November 1995 FOCUS ON FRESHWATER ALGAE "There are a sort of men whose visages "Do cream and mantle like a standing pond" -The Merchant of Venice, act 1, scene 1, lines 88-89 Some ponds can indeed produce a mantle of green scum, or their water may be entirely green. It is also noticeable how green many trees and fences are in damp weather, as may also be concrete or tarmac paths, tiles, flower pots etc. These manifestations are due to members of the very large and heterogeneous group of the freshwater algae. Yet, apart from the decorative desmids and the intricately patterned diatoms, they have had comparatively few enthusiasts in this country, and as a consequence the occurrence and distribution of the British species is very poorly known. There is no mapping scheme, nor are there more than a few county lists. The plate gives a slight idea of the diversity of algae which are to be found in local ponds and rivers. Most of them are clearly visible with a school-type microscope. There are very many more genera than those illustrated, and some of those genera have dozens or even hundreds of species, many of which are badly described. There is plenty of work for an interested amateur, but one of the chief drawbacks is the need for numbers of large and expensive German monographs when dealing with the smaller species. As the Field Club's recorder for freshwater algae I am prepared to look at any samples members care to send me. -
