  • Landscape Evolution
    APPENDIX 5 APPENDIX 5: LANDSCAPE EVOLUTION This information has been taken from the Nottingham Landscape Guidelines published in 1997 undertaken by Nottinghamshire County Council. Magnesian Limestone Ridge ‘There is still much to learn about the development of the landscapes of the Magnesian Limestone Ridge . Considered to have been a remote wooded area, of late interest to settlers, it has often been considered only as part of Sherwood Forest. While this latter is indeed true, it is not the whole story which, for the want of detailed study, can only be sketched in outline and with some imprecision. Little coherent can be said about the prehistoric and Roman landscapes of the region. Evidence of some of the earlier human occupation and activity in the East Midlands, during the later Ice Ages and after, comes from Creswell Crags. The caves of the limestone gorge provided shelter for the hunter-gathers who 12,000 years ago moved through a landscape which was gradually changing from tundra to birch and pine forest and would eventually develop into mixed oak forest, with alder, oak, elm and lime. While Creswell is the best known and studied, other gorges in the Magnesian Limestone have caves which were occupied by both people and animals at these early dates, and also later. Human occupation of significance has yet to be demonstrated at Pleasley Vale, but the full potential of this gorge, which appears to be considerably filled, has not been explored. Later human activity on the Magnesian Limestone Ridge is indicated by the stone tools and fabrication debris of hunter-gatherer groups and of the first farmers and settlers of the Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age, which are found on the surfaces of ploughed fields.

  • Herefordshire
    SHI0001 Written evidence submitted by Mr I. Carr I would like to raise the issue of the ploughing up of river meadows on the Marches , in particular Herefordshire. Most of the river meadows are now in an arable rotation, with considerable slt movement in times of flooding. The affects the water quality and the aquatic environment as a result of silt deposition. The matter should be looked into. I would hesitate to recommend what action to take. December 2015 SHI0002 Written evidence submitted by Mr S. Norris 1. I am writing in response to your inquiry into soil health. By way of introduction, I am a PhD student that has just submitted my Thesis; I have been working/studying soil heath and ecology for 10 years. This response is the view of myself only and does not reflect the view of any organisation that I have been affiliated with. As this is a personal response to your inquiry I will attempt to keep my response short, however if you would like to further discuss my view I will be more than happy to assist in any way possible. How could soil health best be measured and monitored? How could the Government develop a strategy for tracking soil health? 2. Soil health should be measured through the organic matter content of soil, soil invertebrate biodiversity (Springtails and mites) and soil microbiology (fungi and bacterial) these test should be made mandatory for land managers, land owners and stakeholder in UK. These tests should be carryout every 5 years to ensure our soils are in good condition to enabling them to provide good quality food and aid with carbon sequestration.

  • Thieves & Blidworth Forest Plan
    Thieves & Blidworth Forest Plan 10 year review 2017 - 2027 Thieves & Blidworth FP Thieves & Blidworth Forest Plan Introduction This document is a brief review of the current Forest Design Plans, known as “Thieves and Harlow – Design Plan 44” and “Blidworth – Design Plan 45”. These plans expired in 2012 and were rolled over until 2017. The new plan is an amalgamation of the two current plans and is due to be consulted upon in 2017. It will be known as “Thieves and Blidworth Forest Plan” and will again run for 10 years with a mid-term review at the 5 year point. The purpose of this 10 year review is to answer the four questions set out below, in accordance with OGB 36 – Forest Design Planning. 1. Was the plan implemented properly? Approval for the forest plan was extended for 5 years when plan period expired. This was to take account of amalgamation of Forest Districts and restructuring of the Forestry Commission. Amendment process was also followed in order to fell 15 ha of conifer in the Thieves and Harlow area. Amendment process was followed in Blidworth to fell 2.9 ha of conifer and replant it with a smaller area (1.5 ha) of broadleaves. 2 | Thieves & Blidworth FP | Central Forest District | 17/03/2017 Thieves & Blidworth FP 2. Did the implementation of the plan meet the stated objectives? Thieves and Harlow Objective Met? Comment Landscape Ongoing Coupe shapes as per the current plan have been followed and thought given to the internal landscapes during forest operations. Silviculture Yes Timber production is shown to be sustainable as thinning is carried out to MTI and restocking after clearfelling is carried out within 2 years Biodiversity Ongoing Areas of heathland have been created over and nature the life of this plan and continue to be conservation managed as open space on a rotational basis.
