Discover London's Wildlife DISCOVER LONDON’S WILDLIFE 1 LONDON BIRD CLUB A section of The London Natural London Natural History Society History Society #londonbirds @londonbirdclub Version: October 2019 londonbirdclub @LNHSoc www.lnhs.org.uk CONTENTS PART 01 London Birders Calendar PART 02 London Bird Club Talks PART 03 London Natural History Society Programme PART 04 Events from other London wildlife organisations London Wetland Centre, Barnes LONDON BIRD CLUB A section of the London Natural History Society 2 INTRODUCTION TO THIS PACK London is one of the greatest capital cities in the world. What is less well known is that it is also one of the best places in the world to enjoy wildlife, and to acquire the skills of a naturalist and wildlife photographer. A large and varied network of reserves and some of the best wildlife-visitor infrastructure in the world, means that London is a surprisingly good destination for wildlife photographers, naturalists and tourists. The presence of a number of local natural history clubs and societies who organise field meetings led by outstanding all-round naturalists means it is also probably unmatched in the potential it offers for people to build their skills as naturalists. Furthermore, London has a long history of having some of the world’s pre-eminent scientific and biological institutions, together with smaller local societies also with long histories staging public talks ranging from cutting edge science to discovering wildlife in your backyard. London is amazing for enjoying wildlife and for developing field skills. For tourism companies, London is attractive with its high density of affluent travellers with an interest in wildlife. Some of London’s wildlife societies also run day trips by coach from central London, within a 3 hour drive radius. These are run at cost allowing people to have inexpensive guided wildlife tours to explore a variety of habitats in superb nature reserves further afield from London. LONDON BIRD CLUB A section of The London Natural #londonbirds londonbirdclub History Society 3 INTRODUCTION TO THIS PACK cont …….

  • Walks Programme: July to September 2021
    LONDON STROLLERS WALKS PROGRAMME: JULY TO SEPTEMBER 2021 NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COVID-19: Following discussions with Ramblers’ Central Office, it has been confirmed that as organized ‘outdoor physical activity events’, Ramblers’ group walks are exempt from other restrictions on social gatherings. This means that group walks in London can continue to go ahead. Each walk is required to meet certain requirements, including maintenance of a register for Test and Trace purposes, and completion of risk assessments. There is no longer a formal upper limit on numbers for walks; however, since Walk Leaders are still expected to enforce social distancing, and given the difficulties of doing this with large numbers, we are continuing to use a compulsory booking system to limit numbers for the time being. Ramblers’ Central Office has published guidance for those wishing to join group walks. Please be sure to read this carefully before going on a walk. It is available on the main Ramblers’ website at www.ramblers.org.uk. The advice may be summarised as: - face masks must be carried and used, for travel to and from a walk on public transport, and in case of an unexpected incident; - appropriate social distancing must be maintained at all times, especially at stiles or gates; - you should consider bringing your own supply of hand sanitiser, and - don’t share food, drink or equipment with others. Some other important points are as follows: 1. BOOKING YOUR PLACE ON A WALK If you would like to join one of the walks listed below, please book a place by following the instructions given below.

  • Spaces Wild, London Wildlife Trust
    SPACES WILD championing the values of London’s wildlife sites Protecting London’s wildlife for the future Foreword London is a remarkably green city supporting a wide diversity of habitats and species. Almost half of its area is blue and green space, and almost a fifth – covering over 1,500 different sites - is of sufficient value to biodiversity to be identified worthy of protection. These wildlife sites consist of much more than nature reserves, ranging from wetlands to chalk downs that are often valued by the local community for uses other than habitat. They have been established for almost 30 years, and as a network they provide the foundations for the conservation and enhancement of London’s wildlife, and the opportunity for people to experience the diversity of the city’s nature close to hand. They are a fantastic asset, but awareness of wildlife sites – the Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) – is low amongst the public (compared to, say, the Green Belt). There is understandable confusion between statutory wildlife sites and those identified through London’s planning process. In addition the reasons why SINCs have been identified SINCs cover 19.3% of the are often difficult to find out. With London set to grow to 10 million people by 2030 the pressures on our wildlife Greater London area sites will become profound. I have heard of local authorities being forced to choose between saving a local park and building a school. Accommodating our growth without causing a decline in the quality of our natural assets will be challenging; we have a target to build an estimated 42,000 homes a year in the capital merely to keep up with demand.

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 5.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

The statement is for the use of local residents, community groups, businesses, property owners, architects and developers as an aid to the formulation and design of development proposals and change in the area. The statement will be used by the Council in the assessment of all development proposals. Camden has a duty under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to designate as conservation areas any “areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance.” Designation provides the basis for policies designed to preserve or enhance the special interest of such an area. Designation also introduces a general control over the demolition of unlisted buildings. The Council’s policies and guidance for Conservation Areas are contained in the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) and Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG). This Statement is part of SPG and gives additional detailed guidance in support of UDP policies. The Statement describes the character of the area, provides an outline of the key issues and identifies development pressures which are currently a cause of concern.
