Dumfries & Galloway
Survey Report Dumfries & Galloway 2013 Revised Native Woodland Survey of Scotland Introduction Native woodlands are a vital part of Scotland’s natural and cultural heritage, providing us with a wide range of social, environmental and economic benefits. What is left today is only a small proportion of the native woodland that once covered much of Scotland, though much has been done since the 1980s to protect and restore the areas that remain. The Scottish Forestry Strategy (2006) promotes continuing action to expand our native woods, to improve their condition and to restore native woodland habitats on ancient woodland sites. To support this work Forestry Commission Scotland (FCS) has developed the Native Woodland Survey of Scotland (NWSS), which is the most extensive habitat survey of its kind ever undertaken in Scotland. The survey will provide a nationwide map and a comprehensive picture of our native woodland resource for the first time. Results will be reported separately for each local authority area and in a national summary. This report presents summary information from the Native Woodland Survey of Scotland for the Dumfries and Galloway authority area. Survey Aims The Native Woodland Survey of Scotland will create a woodland map linked to a spatial dataset which describes the type, extent, composition and condition of all native woods in Scotland over 0.5ha in area. Planted woods on ancient woodland sites (PAWS) will also be surveyed, even where they are not mainly native in species composition, in order to provide information to help maintain or restore their remaining biodiversity value. Method The fieldwork for Dumfries and Galloway was carried out between January 2008 and June 2012. -

Walking in and Around Dalbeattie and Colvend
1 WALKING in and around Dalbeattie & Colvend The natural place to walk 3 3 Kippford The Dalbeattie and Colvend area is one of the most beautiful and diverse in Dumfries & Galloway with scenery ranging from forest to woodland and from saltmarsh to rocky coast. The area is also home to the town of Dalbeattie, the picturesque coastal villages of Rockcliffe and Kippford, and the popular Sandyhills beach. The variety of habitats support an abundance of wildlife. Red squirrels are a common sight, colourful dragonflies skim the surface of lochs and birdlife abounds. Look out for sparrowhawks, peregrine falcon perching on rocky outcrops and the many waders such as oystercatcher feeding on the mudflats. The area is particularly renowned for its rich diversity of butterfly species including the small copper, pearl bordered fritillary and purple hairstreak. Plant highlights include the shimmering carpets of bluebells in May and the tapestries of tiny coastal flowers such as English stonecrop and birds foot trefoil during June and July. Those interested in archaeology can visit the Iron Age fort sites of Mote of Mark and Castle Point on the coast near Rockcliffe. The town of Dalbeattie provides a good range of services and Rockcliffe has been a choice holiday village since Victorian times. 4 5 THE WALKS Wick Dumfries A 7 1 A 3 A75 7 1 6 Rounall Wood ...........................................8 2 Inverness 1 1 Aberdeen 7 A 2 Dalbeattie Forest Easy Access Trail A 74 5 Castle (and other waymarked routes).............10 DALBEATTIE 0 1 7 Edinburgh Douglas -
Wildlife Review Cover Image: Hedgehog by Keith Kirk
Dumfries & Galloway Wildlife Review Cover Image: Hedgehog by Keith Kirk. Keith is a former Dumfries & Galloway Council ranger and now helps to run Nocturnal Wildlife Tours based in Castle Douglas. The tours use a specially prepared night tours vehicle, complete with external mounted thermal camera and internal viewing screens. Each participant also has their own state- of-the-art thermal imaging device to use for the duration of the tour. This allows participants to detect animals as small as rabbits at up to 300 metres away or get close enough to see Badgers and Roe Deer going about their nightly routine without them knowing you’re there.
