  • Press Release
    Press Release Don McCullin. The Stillness of Life Hauser & Wirth Somerset 25 January – 4 May 2020 Opening Reception: Friday 24 January 2020, 6 – 8 pm ‘If you look again at McCullin’s landscapes, you start to sense the figure who made the pictures, invisible behind the lens, stepping forward with nothing but his own shadow – in the marsh, against the snow, along the causeway, over the brow. By now he is stripped of all superfluities. He is not a man in repose, who lingers lazily. He is striding into the wind, as always.’ Mark Holborn [1] Hauser & Wirth Somerset is proud to present ‘Don McCullin. The Stillness of Life’, a focused presentation of over 60 landscape photographs, mapping Sir Don McCullin CBE’s intimate relationship with the local landscape of Somerset and continued passion for global travel since the 60s. Regarded as one of the most accomplished war photographers of recent times, McCullin has spent the last six decades travelling to remote locations and witnessing harrowing scenes of conflict and destruction. Often referring to the British countryside as his greatest salvation, McCullin demonstrates the full mastery of his medium with stark black and white images resonating with human emotion. This personal survey depicts scenes from across the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia, revealing McCullin’s innermost feelings through powerful compositions of wild heavens, haunting vistas and meditative still lifes. Having been evacuated to the safety of Somerset during the Blitz, McCullin has had a lifelong connection with the open farmland and hill country of the South West, feeling at peace within the solitude of the expansive landscape.

  • Rrn Autumn Newsletter 2014
    25 August 2014 ROUGH RUNNING NEWS From the Editor What a summer it’s been with hot sun making running and racing more difficult, but who can complain? Well plenty do of course, but personally i love hot summers and if it means getting up and running early beating the heat then so much the better. Of course races happen when they happen and keeping cool can become an issue, never mind sunburn (sunscreen and running don’t go so well together = sweat!) and extra chaffing due to sweat. The countryside seems to have exploded in greenery (unwanted to runners) along all trails, far too many stingers, brambles and cutting legs to shreds crops. But all part of off-road running. I was lucky enough to be sent out to Chamonix from work at the last minute to lead a Tour of Mont Blanc trek a few weeks ago and saw so many runners out along the trails no doubt training for the UTMB (last weekend in August) or just out running, very inspiring. On our ‘rest day’ i went out and had a fabulous run in the Val Ferret (Italy) along the TMB route for 12 miles and pretended i was in the UTMB. It was glorious running - mostly a balcony path above the valley so not too extreme mountain wise - only marred by low cloud so no views. Congratulations and thanks are due to Tilly for organising another great series of TACH races and good luck to Matt as he takes over this task. The races all were successful thanks also to all the people who helped organise, marshall and compete in them.

Mendip Hills Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

These areas have their own objectives and standards. Article 4 of the Water Framework Directive requires Member States to achieve compliance with the standards and objectives set for each protected area by 22 December 2015, unless otherwise specified in the Community legislation under which the protected area was established. Some areas may require special protection under more than one EC Directive or may have additional (surface water and/or groundwater) objectives. In these cases, all the objectives and standards must be met. Article 6 requires Member States to establish a register of protected areas. The types of protected areas that must be included in the register are: • areas designated for the abstraction of water for human consumption (Drinking Water Protected Areas); • areas designated for the protection of economically significant aquatic species (Freshwater Fish and Shellfish); • bodies of water designated as recreational waters, including areas designated as Bathing Waters; • nutrient-sensitive areas, including areas identified as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones under the Nitrates Directive or areas designated as sensitive under Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD); • areas designated for the protection of habitats or species where the maintenance or improvement of the status of water is an important factor in their protection including relevant Natura 2000 sites1.

  • Flora of Somerset
    A SUPPLEMENT TO THE FLORA OF SOMERSET EDWARD SHEARBURN MARSHALL, M.A., F.L.S. RECTOR OF WEST MONKTON. Uaunton : PUBLISHED BY THE SOMERSETSHIRE ARCH^OLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 1914 ; PREFACE. In these pages I have tried to record the various additions or corrections since the pubHcation of Mr. Murray's book ; which, though dated 1896, was not (I beheve) issued until early in the following year. There is a certain fitness in my continuing his work ; for we were intimate friends from the autumn of 1882 until his death, and I had a small share in his Somerset explorations : he was also my first real helper in the study of critical plants. I have generally followed the London Catalogue names and standard of species, which is somewhat more liberal than that of Fl. Som. ; Mr. Murray was accustomed to deal with larger areas, and his point of view was synthetical, rather than analytical. Researches have been carried on for many years in the north-west ; the results are embodied in Mr. J. W. White's Flora of Bristol, in my opinion quite the best and most thorough book of its kind, which appeared in 1912. He has most generously allowed me to make full use of it and—as the reader cannot fail to see—it has been my mainstay. Our friend Dr. C. E. Moss has written an important plant-associations work on the of the county ; and I wish to thank my numerous correspondents for their cordial help. The time has not yet come for a new edition of the Somerset Flora, ; several districts stiU need much closer investigation, and my own scanty leisure is so much occupied by other matters that I have been un- iv ablo to (lovoto a great deal of it to local excursions.
