Summer! What Summer? Like us, you may have blinked and missed Summer or are you one of those who like sub 20°c temperatures? But for most of us one day of Summer at a time is not enough to do all we would like - go on task, walk over downland looking at flowers and butterflies, go for a swim, have a BBQ. Heaths and downlands are at their best for flowers and insects during June, July and August. Hedgerows too should be awash and where there are insects there should be birds. So when we do get a nice day then make the effort to go out to watch wildlife and connect with nature, on task or midweek. We have received much sad news recently with the deaths of DCV members Malcolm Woodcock, Roy Smith, Elizabeth Rostant and also Liz Agate, BTCV volunteer who wrote many of the BTCV handbooks and designed the garden at Tyneham. There are tributes and photographs in this newsletter. If anyone wants full size photos then email the newseds. The DCV AGM is here again. Last year’s was very successful, very well attended and we all had a very chatty and good time, so we highly recommend you attend this year’s, on 12th September. Our speaker will be Richard Edmonds from the Jurassic Coast team which should be really interesting. As always, bring some food to share at suppertime. A few gentle reminders: Membership fees - if you haven’t paid, it’s never too late. We’re working in more rivers and streams so please adhere to the clean boot policy (see article in this newsletter) Remember to protect yourself on task with long trousers that can be tucked in and long sleeved shirt to protect you from the sun, ticks, bites, stings and scratches. With adverse weather in mind, watch out for floods on minor roads. Keep your phone with you, fully charged and topped up. Take a map and use alterative routes if necessary. The popular pond task at Tyneham will be followed by a BBQ - we need to know numbers, please contact Richard if you want to come. On the maps pages we have included some bus numbers from major towns to or past task sites for those of you who are adventurous enough to try. Thanks to all who have contributed to this newsletter, be it memories, photos, articles, time or effort. We have some helpings of beautiful scenery and great views at Fontmell Down and Hambledon Hill this quarter. We also have oodles of hidden Dorset at Kingcombe and West Milton. Do come along and see for yourself.

  • Annex 11 – Protected Areas
    River Basin Management Plan South West River Basin District Annex D: Protected area objectives Contents D.1 Introduction 2 D.2 Types and location of protected areas 3 D.3 Monitoring network 12 D.4 Objectives 19 D.5 Compliance (results of monitoring) including 22 actions (measures) for Surface Water Drinking Water Protected Areas and Natura 2000 Protected Areas D.6 Other information 152 D.1 Introduction The Water Framework Directive specifies that areas requiring special protection under other EC Directives and waters used for the abstraction of drinking water are identified as protected areas. These areas have their own objectives and standards. Article 4 of the Water Framework Directive requires Member States to achieve compliance with the standards and objectives set for each protected area by 22 December 2015, unless otherwise specified in the Community legislation under which the protected area was established. Some areas may require special protection under more than one EC Directive or may have additional (surface water and/or groundwater) objectives. In these cases, all the objectives and standards must be met. Article 6 requires Member States to establish a register of protected areas. The types of protected areas that must be included in the register are: • areas designated for the abstraction of water for human consumption (Drinking Water Protected Areas); • areas designated for the protection of economically significant aquatic species (Freshwater Fish and Shellfish); • bodies of water designated as recreational waters, including areas designated as Bathing Waters; • nutrient-sensitive areas, including areas identified as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones under the Nitrates Directive or areas designated as sensitive under Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD); • areas designated for the protection of habitats or species where the maintenance or improvement of the status of water is an important factor in their protection including relevant Natura 2000 sites1.
