  • Tucked Between Flat Midlands and Ru Walks of the Shropshire Way and Ordnance
    ., . SHRO Tucked between flat Midlands and ru walks of the Shropshire Way and Ordnance WORDS NICK HAWSSEY PHOTOGRAPHY BOB ATKINS hurch Stretton and the hills around it occupy some bizarre bubble of alternate space, floating ephemerally somewhere west of Shrewsbury. C This pocket paradise of underused paths and trails shouldn't be there; it's been sneaked in, between pancake-flat Midlands and Welsh gnarl, like a bit of late school homework. Arriving here feels like you've broken into another dimension, one where time stopped several hours ago and where the place names are a tongue-twisting mish­ mash of Old English, Welsh and something else entirely. I had never set foot in Shropshire before this feature. Now, I'd happily rank it among my favourite places to walk. Anywhere. And here's why... THE SHROPSHIRE WAY A few years ago, ex-Army officer and adoptive Shroppie lad Jim Stabler took a look at the Shropshire Way and found it wanting. It skirted some staggering beauty spots, as if paranoid of going too near them. It failed to link some of the best walking country that Shropshire has to offer. And it was full of stiles, tricky river crossings and other navigational tripwires. Jim resolved to do something about it. and with help from Shropshire County Council. he has. As walkers, we owe the man a pint, especially as he's done it in a couple of years and for a mere £160,000 - most of it coming from the European Union. His work has concentrated on the southern section, which is at the heart of Explorer 21Z This stretch takes in the big hitters of the trail.

  • 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.

    Shropshire Entomology – April 2013 (No.7) A bi-annual newsletter focussing upon the study of insects and other invertebrates in the county of Shropshire (V.C. 40) March 2014 (Vol. 8) Editor: Pete Boardman [email protected] ~ Welcome ~ Welcome to the 8th edition of the Shropshire Entomology newsletter. As ever I hope you enjoy it and it inspires you to submit your own articles relating to any aspect of entomology relevant to Shropshire or Shropshire entomologists. It is sometime since we published the last edition but hopefully there will be the same appetite for entomological news as ever. In the last newsletter we detailed a number of new County Recorders and within this edition are some of the fruits of their labours from 2013, which I feel are particularly valuable. Edition 9 will be due at the beginning of October with the cut off date for contributions being Friday 19th September. Hopefully the summer will bring plenty of entomological experiences that can be shared amongst Shropshire’s entomologists whether they are accounts of new species or just interesting sightings, all are welcomed. If anyone would like to catalogue all of the articles in this and the previous 7 newsletters as a volunteer activity I’d be pleased to hear from you.

It offers a diverse range of scenery: from the lakes and rolling pasturelands around Ellesmere in the north, to the gaunt moorlands of the Clee Hills, with their stark industrial ruins, in the south; the densely wooded scarps of Wenlock Edge; or the straight, sandy lanes of the north-eastern heathlands, with their large arable fields and ‘big skys’.
