  • Appendix 7 Proposal to Establish a Red Squirrel Refuge in the Sefton Coast Woodlands and a Buffer Zone in Areas of Sefton and West Lancashire
    APPENDIX 7 PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH A RED SQUIRREL REFUGE IN THE SEFTON COAST WOODLANDS AND A BUFFER ZONE IN AREAS OF SEFTON AND WEST LANCASHIRE. 1.Purpose of this proposal To seek the support of all land owners, managers, statutory agencies and conservation bodies for the designation of the Sefton Coast Woodlands as a red squirrel refuge. This will not be a statutory designation but rather a voluntary agreement between interested parties to manage land for the benefit of red squirrels and to prevent colonisation by grey squirrels. It will, however, enable additional financial resources to be drawn down through woodland and agricultural support schemes. 2.Introduction The red squirrel is listed as a Priority Species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP), which cites the three main factors for its loss or decline as the spread of grey squirrels, habitat fragmentation and disease. Red squirrels were once found throughout England but are now almost wholly restricted to the north with small colonies on the Isle of Wight and Brownsea Island in Dorset. Sefton now supports the most southerly population in mainland England. The total British population is estimated at around 16,000 animals, of which more than 1,000 are in Sefton. Populations continue to be lost throughout Britain and the red squirrel is now regarded as endangered and its future uncertain unless appropriate measures are taken to protect it. The UK Red Squirrel Group (foresters, scientists and conservation agencies with responsibility for facilitating the implementation of actions within the UKBAP) has drawn up a national strategy to ensure the survival of the red squirrel.

  • National Trust Brownsea Island
    National Trust Brownsea Island Famous for red squirrels, wildlife and Scouting, Brownsea Island is dramatically located in Poole Harbour, with spectacular views across to the Purbeck Hills. Thriving natural habitats - including woodland, heathland, acid grassland lagoon and seashore- create a unique haven for wildlife, such as the rare red squirrel and a wide variety of birds, including dunlin, kingfishers, common and sandwich terns and oystercatchers. Once a privately owned estate, Brownsea Island has seen a wide variety of owners and changes. From an attempted pottery industry in the late 1800s, to a community of over 200 people with a school in the early 1900s, to a private island devoted to nature, Brownsea Island was eventually acquired by the National Trust in 1962 and opened to the public in 1963. Brownsea Island holds an important place in Scouting history as Baden-Powell held his first experimental camp here in 1907. He chose it as a venue in which to test his ideas partly because of the natural environment and the fact that it was easily accessible, yet still felt like a world away. http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/brownsea- island/features/scouting-and-guiding-on-brownsea-island Brownsea Island has continued to be a popular destination for both Scouting and Guiding day and residential visits. We offer a variety of opportunities for Scouts, Guides and youth organisations to explore and connect with the natural world. Groups can camp near the original camping area (up to 200) or stay in South Shore Lodge, a 24-person bunkhouse with kitchen, showers and its own garden.

  • Passing Masculinities at Boy Scout Camp
    PASSING MASCULINITIES AT BOY SCOUT CAMP Patrick Duane Vrooman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Joe Austin, Advisor Melissa Miller Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Jay Mechling ii ABSTRACT Joe Austin, Advisor This study examines the folklore produced by the Boy Scout summer camp staff members at Camp Lakota during the summers of 2002 and 2003, including songs, skits, and stories performed both in front of campers as well as “behind the scenes.” I argue that this particular subgroup within the Boy Scouts of America orders and passes on a particular constellation of masculinities to the younger Scouts through folklore while the staff are simultaneously attempting to pass as masculine themselves. The complexities of this situation—trying to pass on what one has not fully acquired, and thus must only pass as—result in an ordering of masculinities which includes performances of what I call taking a pass on received masculinities. The way that summer camp staff members cope with their precarious situation is by becoming tradition creators and bearers, that is, by acquiescing to their position in the hegemonizing process. It is my contention that hegemonic hetero-patriarchal masculinity is maintained by partially ordered subjects who engage in rather complex passings with various masculinities. iii Dedicated to the memory of my Grandpa, H. Stanley Vrooman For getting our family into the Scouting movement, and For recognizing that I “must be pretty damn stupid, having to go to school all those years.” iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never knew how many people it would take to write a book! I always thought that writing was a solitary act.
