JOLLEY KEYWORDS: Groove – Gritstone – Pennine – Anthropogenic marking – Petroglyph STRANGE GROOVES IN THE PENNINES, UNITED KINGDOM David Shepherd and Frank Jolley Abstract. This paper presents an account of grooved markings found on sandstone surfaces in the Pennine upland of Yorkshire, United Kingdom, of other single examples in Scotland and the U.S.A., and of numerous unsuccessful attempts to secure an archaeological or geological explanation for them. Of particular interest are the cases where cupules and grooves appear in juxtaposition. There is a concluding discussion of some aspects which may inform a practical aetiology.

  • 26 Hartwith Moor Grassland Plateau
    A Hartwith Moor looking north east. AREA 26 Approved Feb 2004 Hartwith Moor Grassland Plateau Description This is a pocket of flat to gently undulating grassland plateau south of Brimham Rocks covering 2km 2. The area is dominated by the regular, organised pattern of parliamentary field enclosures with dry stone wall field boundaries. Prior to parliamentary enclosure the area would have been open moor. The linear minor roads through the area conform to field pattern. The simpl­ icity and consistency of the muted green square fields is harmonious and the lack of large settlement makes the landscape seem remote. The area is large scale and open with vast views due to sparse coverage of trees and woodland. Brimham Rocks SSSI abuts the northern edge of the Character Area and its contrasting landform and rock outcrops create a unique and unusual backdrop to the fields. With the exception of telegraph poles that cross the area it is attractive. Brimham Rocks, and the strong field pattern, are visual elements of interest in this Character Area which lies within the Nidderale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

  • Draft LGAP Your Dales Rocks Project
    i ii The ‘Your Dales Rocks Project’ – A Draft Local Geodiversity Action Plan (2006-2011) for the Yorkshire Dales and the Craven Lowlands The Yorkshire Dales and Craven Lowlands have a diverse landscape that reflects the underlying geology and its history. The auditing and protection of this geodiversity is important to help preserve the landscape and the underlying geology. It is also important to help integrate the needs of the local population, education, recreation and science with quarrying and the National need for aggregate. This draft Action Plan sets out a framework of actions for auditing, recording and monitoring the geodiversity of the Dales and Craven lowlands. As its title indicates, it is a draft and subject to change as comments are made and incorporated. The implementation of the Action Plan is also dependent on funding becoming available. For this draft, the North Yorkshire Geodiversity Partnership is particularly thankful for the support of the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund from the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, administered by English Nature, and the Landscape, Access and Recreation side of the Countryside Agency. It is also very grateful to the organisations of the authors and steering group listed below (and whose logos appear on the front cover) that have invested staff time and money to make this draft Action Plan a reality. Over time, the plan will evolve and Adrian Kidd, the project officer (address below) welcomes suggestions and comments, which will help to formulate the final

  • Public Engagement and Wildlife Recording Events in the UK Matt Postles & Madeleine Bartlett, Bristol Natural History Consortium
    - DRAFT - The rise and rise of BioBlitz: public engagement and wildlife recording events in the UK Matt Postles & Madeleine Bartlett, Bristol Natural History Consortium Abstract A BioBlitz is a collaborative race against the clock to discover as many species of plants, animals and fungi as possible, within a set location, over a defined time period - usually 24 hours. A BioBlitz usually combines the collection of biological records with public engagement as experienced naturalists and scientists explore an area with members of the public, volunteers and school groups. The number of BioBlitz events taking place in the UK has increased explosively since the initiation of the National BioBlitz programme in 2009 attracting large numbers of people to take part and gathering a large amount of biological data. BioBlitz events are organised with diverse but not mutually exclusive aims and objectives and the majority of events are considered successful in meeting those aims. BioBlitz events can cater for and attract a wide diversity of participants through targeted activities, particularly in terms of age range, and (in the UK) have engaged an estimated 2,250 people with little or no prior knowledge of nature conservation in 2013. BioBlitz events have not been able to replicate that success in terms of attracting participants from ethnic minority groups. Key positive outcomes for BioBlitz participants identified in this study include enjoyment, knowledge and skills based learning opportunities, social and professional networking opportunities and inspiring positive action Whilst we know that these events generate a lot of biological records, the value of that data to the end user is difficult to quantify with the current structure of local and national recording schemes.

  • Annual Review of Locality Budgets
    North Yorkshire County Council Corporate and Partnerships Overview and Scrutiny Committee 7 June 2021 Annual review of County Councillor Locality Budgets 2020/21 1. Purpose of the report 1.1. To review the operation of County Councillor Locality Budgets in the financial year 2020/21. 2. Background 2.1. Locality Budgets enable County Councillors to respond to local needs by recommending the allocation of small amounts of funding to support projects or activities that directly promote the social, economic or environmental wellbeing of the communities they represent. 2.2. The Locality Budgets scheme seeks to ensure that County Councillors have a clear role in the allocation of funding in their Division within the criteria and process agreed by the Executive. This role includes actively promoting the scheme within their Division so that the money is allocated to meet appropriate local needs. 2.3. Because the allocation of funding is an executive decision, decisions are made by the Executive Member with responsibility for Stronger Communities, taking into account the information received and the recommendation of the relevant County Councillor. 2.4. Transparency is a significant feature of the scheme: County Councillors are required to declare all relevant interests when making a recommendation, including membership or other connections with organisations that will benefit from or manage a Locality Budget award Awards are published on the County Council website at https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/county-councillor-locality-budgets 1 OFFICIAL 3. Summary of approved recommendations in 2020/21 3.1. In 2020/21 each County Councillor had a Locality Budget allocation of £10,000.

These are East areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good Yorkshire decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
