  • Ponds and Newts Project Final Report
    Herefordshire Amphibian and Reptile Team (HART) Herefordshire Ponds and Newts Project (L+/023) Final Report By W. R. C. Watson, B Ed, MIEEM th 25 November 2008 This project is part-financed by the European Union (EAGGF) and DEFRA through the Herefordshire Rivers LEADER+ Programme Biodiversity Herefordshire Partnership 1 SUMMARY The Herefordshire Ponds and Newts Project was launched in August 2003 with aim of surveying at least 250 ponds within the Herefordshire Rivers which adjoins the rivers Wye, Frome, Lugg and Arrow covers 880 square kilometers and occupies 41% of the county. The project ended in November 2006. The primary aim was to assess amphibian occurrence and pond condition. The main target species was great crested newt which is a biodiversity action plan species both locally and nationally. Other objectives included the creation of a county pond data-base and the production of an atlas and the increased awareness of the wildlife and heritage value of Herefordshire’s ponds and to encourage proper care and maintenance of ponds. The project was conceived as a community-based project. We relied on farmers and other landowners to put forward ponds for survey and management advice. In order to reduce bias we always attempted to survey all ponds on each landholding, rather than pre-selecting the best looking ponds. We also sort to engage the local community in carrying the survey work. In order to achieve these targets we produced a publicity leaflet, staged a project launch, wrote to every parish within the Herefordshire Rivers area and contacted all the relevant conservation bodies in the area.
