  • Issue 7 Sound & Environment: Sense of Place
    Issue 7 Sound & Environment: Sense of Place What does Essex sound like? Capturing the changing sounds of an English county By Sarah-Joy Maddeaux, Stuart Bowditch Abstract What does Essex sound like? How have its soundscapes changed? What do its soundscapes reveal about Essex society and culture? In 2015, the Essex Sound and Video Archive at the Essex Record Office gained a Heritage Lottery Fund grant to run the project, You Are Hear: sound and a sense of place. One output was an online audio map of past and present sounds of Essex, aiming to showcase the county’s diversity through its soundscapes, and to encourage comparisons of historic and present-day recordings. This article will describe the processes behind the development of the audio map, then give a flavour of the types of soundscapes we captured. Finally, the paper will question what the map reveals about the soundscapes of this oft-maligned British county, and what function the map can serve in developing a sense of place for the county’s inhabitants. Keywords - Essex, sound map, soundscapes, public engagement, sound archive Introduction: Developing the sound map Waves crashing against the shore while the wind beats relentlessly against all obstacles. The drone of car after car whizzing down busy dual carriageways. The repetitive bang, hum, or snap of industrial machinery. Birds chirping in an otherwise tranquil atmosphere. And always, near or far, a plane flying overhead. These are the sounds of Essex – so what? In 2015, the Essex Sound and Video Archive (ESVA) at the Essex Record Office (ERO) was awarded a Your Heritage grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to run a three-year project, You Are Hear: sound and a sense of place.

  • Salicornia and Other Annuals Colonising Mud and Sand
    Salicornia and other annuals colonising mud and sand Site Description The Essex Estuaries European Marine Site lies on the East coast of Essex, in the South East of England. The European designation covers an area of approximately 472km2. It is made up of four estuaries; Colne, Blackwater, Crouch and Roach as well as open stretches of coast the Dengie, Foulness and the Maplin sands. The Essex Estuaries contributes to the essential range and variation of estuaries in the UK as the best example of a coastal plain estuary system on the British North Sea coast. Above high water the majority of the Essex Estuaries SAC is bounded by seawall defences, the majority of which have been constructed using clay excavated from the immediate area. This method creates an associated linear pond called a borrowdyke, ranging salinities and water temperatures in these borrowdykes supports a range of interesting associated species including Lagoon sea slug (Tenellia adspersa) [1] Essex Estuaries contains amongst others a designation for saltmarsh and its associated plant communities. Saltmarshes are areas of upper intertidal habitat vegetated with salt tolerant plants found on low energy coastlines where deposition levels are high. They are important habitats of high biological diversity, utilised by both marine and terrestrial species. They are documented as important nursery grounds at high tide supporting juvenile fish species including Bass and Grey mullet, Dab, Plaice & Sole all exploiting the warm shallow sheltered creeks which have a high nutrient value. At low tide waders including red shank (Tringa tetanus), Curlew (Numenius arquata) godwits (Limosa limosa) and (Limosa lapponica) utilise the exposed mud feeding on infaunal and epifaunal communities.The presence of seawalls and rising sea levels result is a process known as coastal squeeze.

  • Essex Wildlife Trust 2020 AGM
    Essex Wildlife Trust 2020 AGM Following the AGM, we promised to publish details on the website of the various questions received. This has taken a little longer than planned, due to ongoing challenges with our resources, as a direct consequence of the global pandemic. In addition, please note that these answers were provided at the end of October and some of these answers may now be slightly outdated, as our operations may have changed in response to government requirements. Question and Answer responses are as follows: Mrs Bancoft-Hall How will it be safe to visit Abberton Wildlife Centre in the future? Medical issues (e.g. asthma) will prevent me from coming inside for purchases, refreshments and bird information. The Trust has strict COVID secure measures in place to ensure you have a safe visit with us. We undertake regular thorough cleaning procedures at all of our sites. Masks must be worn inside the centre, hand sanitizer is available on arrival, social distancing and one-way systems are in place. Our food offer is limited to takeaway and we ask all visitors to check in via the Track and Trace QR code. Should individuals not be able to enter our Nature Discovery Centres but would like to access the attached nature reserve, where the layout deems this is the normal procedure (i.e. Abberton & Hanningfield) if you’re able to give the centre advanced warning, we will be able to give you side access directly onto the nature reserve. Mr and Mrs Clark Can we make all the EWT locations COVID compliant so that we can enjoy visiting them again? All of our Nature Discovery Centres are COVID-secure.
