The administrative area covers approximately 110 square kilometres and has a population of around 110,000 people. The Borough has seen significant population, housing and employment growth over the last few decades mainly in and around Bracknell Town. With a background as a small market town, Bracknell was earmarked for development as a ‘new town’ to alleviate the housing crisis caused by World War II. Bracknell New Town was designed on the neighbourhood principle with a primary school, shops, church, community centre and public house at the heart of each of the nine neighbourhoods. Generally the housing stock is relatively expensive and spacious at average densities, with 1007 people per km 2, compared to 424 km 2 in the South- east [ONS, 2003]. The settlements in the Borough comprise of Sandhurst and Crowthorne to the south; the semi-rural communities of Binfield, Warfield and Winkfield to the north; and the former New Town of Bracknell in the centre of the Borough. © Crown Copyright.

  • A History of Recording Bog Mosses in Berkshire with Selected Site Descriptions A
    A History of Recording Bog Mosses in Berkshire with selected Site Descriptions A. Sanders Summary For a paper recently submitted for consideration to the Journal of Bryology, based on my dissertation for an MSc in Biological Recording from the University of Birmingham, I looked at the different methods of detecting change in species distribution over time in relation to bog mosses (Sphagnum spp.) in Vice County 22 (Berkshire). In this paper I will give a brief overview of the history of recording bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) in Berkshire and go on to describe some of the sites I have surveyed, the Sphagnum species to be found there and any changes that have taken place over the known recorded history. Introduction Sphagnum records for Berkshire were collected from a range of sources for my dissertation, as shown in Table 1, including herbaria at The University of Reading, RNG and The National Museum of Wales, NMW; these tended to be from pre-1945 or shortly after and had only a site name for location. The use of herbarium and museum specimens as a source of historical information for education and research, as resources for taxonomic study and as a means of assessing changes in species distribution is well documented (McCarthy 1998, Shaffer et al. 1998, Winker 2004, Pyke & Ehrlich 2010, Godfrey 2011, Colla et al. 2012, Culley 2013, Lavoie 2013, Nelson et al. 2013) and has seen a significant increase in research in the last twenty years (Pyke & Ehrlich 2010) because “collections represent both spatially and temporally precise data, they can be used to reconstruct historical species ranges....” (Drew 2011, p.1250).
