  • Scotland 2010 by Pattie Theriot
    AGM Scotland 2010 By Pattie Theriot The Group July 26th We arrived in Belfast, Northern Ireland first thing in the morning after a long overnight flight. We met our tour guide Michael, and our bus driver Bill and began our wonderful 14 day adventure. After picking up some of our group who had arrived in Belfast early, we began our tour of Belfast. Michael gave us all a wonderful history lesson on what the real causes of problems, or “the troubles” as they call them, are about. The issue has always dealt with the political power of the two parties. The royalist, want to remain a part of the UK and the republicans want to break away and become part of the Republic of Ireland. We toured the housing areas for both parties and I was amazed at the steps that have been taken to keep the other party out of the areas. There were large barricade walls that went through the areas with large gates at the roadways to let traffic through. Although the gates are all open now, the recent riots that occurred around July 12th remind us that there are still significant issues that must be resolved. Belfast is now starting to rebuild their city and the new courthouse walls contain glass windows to signify that they now feel comfortable. (The old courthouse was surrounded by blast proof barricade walls) We then traveled to Armagh for our overnight stay. July 27th We began our day with a visit to the two different St. Patrick’s Cathedrals. Armagh is the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland and the seat for the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Armagh.

As such it is difficult to offer a meaningful snapshot of how the park looked at the date of registration without reference to contemporary documents which vary both in availability and comprehensiveness. An additional complication is the changes in CCS policy, which initially required the park to be substantially complete before registration, but later made a concession to allow partly-ready parks to register before they actually opened, a concession which was later withdrawn as meaningless.

  • Mugdock Case
    Protecting Oak Ecosystems: Managing oak woodlands to maximize support for oak associated biodiversity. Case study: Mugdock Oak, birch and sycamore at Mugdock • = current case study site X = other case study site Case Study key facts Location: Stirlingshire, Scotland Landscape context: On the generally southerly facing slopes on the undulating terrain of the lower western extension of the predominantly extrusive volcanic rocks of the Campsie Fells. It lies close to the north western outskirts of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. The wood is contiguous with other areas of both deciduous and coniferous woodland, pasture, lochs/reservoirs and amenity land between Milngavie to the south and the Strathblane Valley to the north. It is part of the Mugdock Country park which is an SSSI. Case study area: c. 120 ha within an SSSI of 169 ha. Proportion of oak in stand canopy: 60% Woodland type: High forest NVC Woodland type: W11 (Quercus petraea-Betula pubescens-Oxalis acetosella woodland; sessile oak – downy birch – wood sorrel woodland) with smaller areas of W17 (Quercus petraea – Betula pubescens – Dicranum majus woodland; sessile oak – downy birch – moss woodland) 1 Vulnerable oak-associated species: 1 highly associated species. Likely scenario: No changes in oak suitability are expected on this site, but extreme events are likely to become more frequent, resulting in increased stress in the coming decades Site Characteristics Woodland type: The area has an unusual association of diverse semi-natural habitats of wooded and non-wooded features. The site includes extensive areas of ancient upland oak woodland, damp ash-elm woodland, wet species-rich alder-dominated woodland, smaller areas of dry and wet heathland with associated patches of scrub and some open water.
