  • Conservation in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, 1942-65, from the Diaries of Charles Elton K
    Walking back in Time: Conservation in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, 1942-65, from the Diaries of Charles Elton K. J. Kirby . Summary The diaries of Charles Elton, a father of community ecology, give details of over 300 visits in the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire between 1940 and 1965 (excluding those made to Wytham Woods near Oxford that are reported separately). The entries illustrate the changes that took place in the countryside in the post-war period; the idiosyncrasies of protected site selection at that time; and some of the management challenges that had to be overcome. Though inevitably a partial record they provide insights relevant to modern conservation. Modern conservationists should ensure that at least the equivalent record is passed on to future generations. Introduction Charles S. Elton, FRS, CBE (1900-1991) was one of the fathers of community ecology (Elton 1966) and the first editor of the Journal of Animal Ecology. He created and directed the Bureau of Animal Population from 1932 until his retirement in 1965 (Crowcroft 1991). The Bureau was absorbed into the Department of Zoology and Elton continued to have an office there for some years after his retirement. He was also a key figure in the early years of the Nature Conservancy which was set up in 1949, the forerunner of Natural England and the other statutory conservation agencies, and was involved in discussions on which sites should be become reserves or Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). Figure 1. Elton (in the middle, holding nets) with students in the 1950s. Elton lived in north Oxford and there is a commemoration plaque in the pavement in Park Town.

  • Cumnor Parish Neighbourhood Plan Important Views Report September 2020 Page 2 of 39
    Cumnor Parish Neighbourhood Plan Important Views Report September 2020 Introduction The parish of Cumnor sits on a Corallian Limestone Ridge in the north of the Vale of the White Horse District Council (VoWHDC) administrative area. With an elevation range across the parish of more than 100m there are many Important Views within the parish, in addition to commanding views into and from the parish. The VoWHDC’s Landscape Character Assessment1, Section 3.6, states: ‘To the north of the central Vale there is a broad east-west ridge of Corallian Limestone, often referred to as the ‘Mid Vale Ridge’. The northern edge of the ridge is marked by prominent, relatively steep, slopes. To the south, the ridge descends more gently, until it merges with the low-lying Vale centred on the River Ock. To the east, the ridge incorporates Boars Hill and Cumnor Hill to the west of Oxford’. It goes on to say in para 3.7: ‘the ridge forms a distinctive, often wooded, horizon in views north from the central Vale. The wooded backdrop is provided by the small blocks of woodland which pepper the ridge, as well as some extensive tracts of ancient woodland, particularly in the east of the District…including Wytham Great Wood. Among the key positive landscape features of the Wooded Corallian Landscape Ridge are the: ‘distant views out from the ridge, from elevated locations and the edges of woodland, including history views of the ‘dreaming spires’ to the east.” It goes on to say that this ridge “provides a rural wooded backdrop and treed skyline in views from the low-lying Vale to the south, in views from the River Thames, and views west from Oxford.’ The Landscape Strategy ‘for the Corallian Limestone Ridge with Woodland’ is to: ‘conserve the woodlands, hedges and riparian vegetation which give the ridge its treed character, protect remaining semi-natural habitats and resist further urbanising sprawl of low-density development”.
