  • Explore the Weald Moors
    Explore The Weald Moors A guide to the habitat, flora and fauna of east Shropshire’s largest wetland landscape EXPLORE THE WEALD MOORS A few miles beyond the historic market town of Wellington one of Shropshire’s largest and most elusive wetland landscapes begins to unfold. This is a place for quiet reflection but one where the serenity of apparent wilderness disguises mankind’s influence at every turn. Here, you’ll find an enduring stronghold for some increasingly rare wildlife, so come with us now and let’s explore the fascinating natural heritage of the wild and evocative Weald Moors… EXPLORE THE WEALD MOORS EXPLORE The East Shropshire Moorlands Flat, low-lying, and poorly drained, the Weald Moors had the ideal recipe for wetland development but how did this perfect storm ever arise? For the answer, we must go back twenty thousand years to the end of the last Ice Age when a number of glacial lakes across Turn to the centre pages to find your way on the northern half of modern day Shropshire to the Weald Moors drained, leaving a distinctive pattern of ridges and hollows that resulted in what we now The east Shropshire moorlands are a highly know as the ‘Meres and Mosses’. While sharing sensitive peat landscape characterised by their origins, the Weald Moors are neither of slow-flowing rivers and streams (known locally these things. as ‘strines’), rush-filled drainage dykes and damp pastures. This is some of the lowest and After the ice receded, peat was laid down wettest ground in Shropshire, where the high along the length of the River Strine (the main water table has helped sculpt a verdant and moorland watercourse) and its tributaries, accessible landscape with a great — but highly while islands of mineral soil formed above fragile — wetland inheritance.

  • 2005 Report.Pdf
    The Shropshire Barn Owl Group This is the third annual report of the Shropshire Barn Owl Group (SBOG) which summarises our results and activities for 2005. The year was extraordinarily successful for barn owls in Shropshire with more breeding pairs occupying nestboxes and more young produced in both nestboxes and natural nest sites monitored by SBOG than in all the three previous years combined. The policy of SBOG in siting nestboxes on land with large areas of permanent rough grassland or farms enrolled in environmental stewardship schemes and supporting extensive margins of rough grassland appears to be increasingly effective. SBOG formed in 2002 and aims to increase the breeding population of barn owls in Shropshire by providing nestboxes in areas of suitable habitat and working with farmers and landowners to enhance their habitat. The group is a voluntary organisation which depends on raising funds and donations to accomplish its conservation work. What we do • Conduct site surveys and promote the conservation of barn owl habitat with farmers, landowners, statutory authorities, conservation organisations and other interested individuals. • Operate a nestbox scheme for barn owls in Shropshire to replenish natural nest sites in trees and buildings lost to decay and development. • Monitor nestboxes and natural sites under licence from English Nature for occupation by breeding and roosting barn owls. • Maintain a database of breeding sites, nestbox occupation and breeding success. • Provide advice and practical assistance to local authorities, developers and home owners where planning applications affect barn owl nest sites. • Observe barn owls throughout Shropshire and research aspects of their behaviour in order to better understand their habitat requirements.

    This is a print edition, issued in 1998. To ensure that you are reviewing current information, see the online version, updated in the SOAS Archives Catalogue. http://archives.soas.ac.uk/CalmView/ Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=PP+MS+63 PAPERS OF J. T. HARDYMAN PP MS 63 July 1998 J. T. HARDYMAN PP MS 63 Introduction James Trenchard Hardyman was born in Madagascar in 1918, son of missionaries A. V. Hardyman and Laura Hardyman (nee Stubbs). The Hardymans married in 1916 and worked in Madagascar for the London Missionary Society from that year until 1938 and from 1944 to 1950. As a child J. T. Hardyman was sent to England to be educated under the guardianship of the Rev. and Mrs J. H. Haile. Hardyman became a missionary with the London Missionary Society in 1945, in the same year that he married Marjorie Tucker. From 1946 until 1974 the Hardymans lived in Madagascar at Imerimandroso. As well as his missionary work within the Antsihanaka area, Hardyman became the Principal of the Imerimandroso College training Malagasy pastors. Following his return to England, Hardyman worked as Honorary Archivist of the CWM at Livingstone House (1974-91) and for the CBMS (1976-1988). In this capacity he oversaw the deposit of both archives at SOAS. From 1974-83 he also worked for the Overseas Book Service of Feed the Minds. J. T. Hardyman died on 1 October 1995. At the age of eleven, Hardyman was given by Haile a second-hand copy of a book on Madagascar published anonymously by 'a resident' in the 1840s, and this began his collection of published and unpublished material relating to Madagascar; a collection which was to become possibly the most comprehensive private collection in the world.
