Daily Mail photos by Chris O'Donovan ------------------------------------------------------------- Cumbria Life recently ran an article on Near and Far Sawrey, "So Near and yet so Far", looking at the struggle of the permanent residents to keep a thriving community. Sawrey is part of the parish of Claife, which has a total population of 298. One hundred thousand visit Hill Top every year. As with so many popular destinations, local housing prices are driven up and the permanent residents dwindle, with properties converted to holiday lets or sold to seasonal owners. Residents quoted estimate this is now the case with half the properties in the village. Despite that, they acknowledge their dependence on tourism and remain positive about keeping the community alive. Liz Hunter MacFarlane, house and collections manager at Hill Top (and Ex Officio Committee Member with the BPS for the National Trust), was interviewed for the piece and we thank Cumbria Life for generously giving us permission to use that portion of the article here. If the print proves too small to read, we include a document link to a larger version. Thanks also to Phillip Price for the scan of the article. Written by Michaela Robinson-Tate, photography by Jenny Woolgar Currently: An exhibition, "Animal Tales", is on at the British Library, London, until November 1, exploring the use of animals in literature and what that use says about us. Boyd Tonkin wrote an article in the Independent about the exhibit and listed his best beasts in literature - some of which are the same as those chosen by the British Library. We don't know if the choice of mouse is his alone, but this is what he has to say: "Mouse: Beatrix Potter, The Tale of Two Bad Mice Don't get trapped by those mice-as-helpless-victims clichés. In 1904, Miss Potter transformed her rebellious streak into the story of a pair of hooligan Mus musculi who vandalise a twee doll's house. Her words and pictures convey an almost anarchic relish in domestic mayhem and upheaval. These mice roar." Coming Up: October 3, 9:30 to 11:00 a.m., The Huntington Library, San Marino, CA Celebrate the works of Beatrix Potter and enjoy tea with the author, portrayed by actor Judith Helton. Dale Schafer will read The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck and several BPS Members will be on hand to help hand out activity sheets, bookmarks, Membership leaflets and Peter Rabbit photo cards. There will be a special appearance from Peter Rabbit himself (animated by Member Betsy Stevenson) and children will have an opportunity to have their photo taken with him. Following the program, author Marta McDowell will sign copies of her book, Beatrix Potter's Gardening Life. ----------------------------------------------------------- October 5, 7:00 p.m., Sherman Library and Garden, Newport Beach, CA Marta McDowell will give her presentation, "Beatrix Potter's Gardening Life" The Tales on Stage: A number of productions of Potter tales have been appearing on stages in North America and England. Some have wound down after a summer run, but there will be a new crop for the winter season and in recognition of the 150th anniversary of Beatrix Potter's birth in 2016. We have a few already - if you hear of more shows, we'll be happy to include them. Send any information and links to [email protected]: The Enchantment Theatre Company is launching a touring production in the US, "Peter Rabbit Tales". The group has a collaborative relationship with F. Warne & Co. (Division of Penguin Young Readers) and will have informative displays about Beatrix, her art, and the 150th anniversary in the theatre lobbies (this link takes you to a page with some of the Company's information about Beatrix and behind-the-scenes videos on their efforts). In this interpretation, Peter and Benjamin are grown and the stories told in flashback. A more detailed account of the show can be found here, with a list of dates and cities here. "Peter Rabbit Tales" will tour through 2016 - more locations and dates will be added, so check back if your area isn't currently on the list. Performances begin in New York State in early October and move farther afield in November. Thank you Kathy Cole, Connie Neumann and Carol Saldeen for sending the information and links! *There is a possibility of a group getting together to attend the Manhattan performance on October 17. If interested, please contact Kathy Cole, [email protected] . Enchantment Theatre Squirrel Nutkin's house --------------------------------------------------------------------- Those in Chicago, IL, with little ones to entertain over Christmas may be interested in "A Snowy Day with Beatrix Potter and Friends" by the Chicago Children's Theatre, appearing in different venues around the city, November 28, December 5, 12 and 19. (Thanks to Carol Saldeen for this one.) ------------------------------------------------------------ Jill Smith (London, UK) has sent her own review of HookHitch Theatre's unique production of "My Friend Peter". Though the final performance for 2015 was at the Edinburgh Festival in August, HookHitch Theatre assures us the show will be on tour again in the UK for Easter 2016, in honour of the 150th anniversary. Something to keep in mind for those planning ahead. Jill says, "I found 'My Friend Peter' very charming, 90 minutes long, with only five players who took all the various parts and seemed like twelve. It is listed as a family friendly folk musical for all those who seek big adventures in little places. Of the approximately thirty people who attended, children and adults all enjoyed it. I was interested to see how they would weave the life of Beatrix Potter into the performance and I thought they managed it imaginatively and well, and the music on guitars, mandolin, etc., was charming as well as the catchy songs and joining pieces to the stories." Equally positive reviews can be found in The Stage and The Scotsman (repeated at Wow 24/7). -------------------------------------------------- ---------- Also in the UK, Avenue Theatre in Ipswich, Suffolk offers "The Tale of Mr Tod", running from December 10 to January 3. "Fed up with writing 'goody goody books about nice people' Beatrix Potter turned her hand to creating two of the most dastardly villains of all time: Mr Tod and his nemesis, Tommy Brock! Join us for a Christmas adventure of mystery, suspense and slapstick." Tidbits: Meredith McClung (Redding, CT) has this gem of an idea for the crafters: "Yesterday morning I went into my small spare room, where I keep a desk and all my keepsakes, hoping to straighten up the clutter which the cat had swept from the desk when looking for a place to sleep in the sun.

  • Assessing Changes in the Agricultural Productivity of Upland Systems in the Light of Peatland Restoration
    Assessing changes in the agricultural productivity of upland systems in the light of peatland restoration Volume 1 of 1 Submitted by Guy William Freeman, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences, June 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………………………… 1 Thesis abstract Human activity has had a profound negative impact on the structure and function of the earth’s ecosystems. However, with a growing awareness of the value of the services provided by intact ecosystems, restoration of degraded land is increasingly used as a means of reviving ecosystem function. Upland landscapes offer an excellent example of an environment heavily modified by human land use. Agriculture has been the key driver of ecosystem change, but as upland habitats such as peatlands can provide a number of highly valuable services, future change may focus on restoration in order to regain key ecosystem processes. However, as pastoral farming continues to dominate upland areas, ecosystem restoration has the potential to conflict with existing land use. This thesis attempts to assess differences in the agricultural productivity of the different habitat types present in upland pastures. Past and present land use have shaped the distribution of different upland habitat types, and future changes associated with ecosystem restoration are likely to lead to further change in vegetation communities.

Rev •ed. follows CATTLE BREEDS ror BEEF and ror BEEFand MILK FARMERS' BULLETIN NO. 1779 U.S.DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE A RATHER COMPLETE DESCRIPTION of the breeds of cattle kept primarily for beef or for both beef and milk on farms and on ranches in the United States is given in this bulletin. The farmer or rancher should study his condi- tions and requirements before selecting a breed. If a herd is to be maintained for the production of feeder calves or creep-fed calves, it would be desir- able to select a breed that has been developed pri- marily for beef purposes. On the other hand, if it is desired to market milk or other dairy products together with veal calves, feeders, or fat cattle, any one of those breeds or strains developed for both beef and milk will be a good choice. There are registry associations for most of the established breeds herein described.
