Welcome to the Spring edition of Stepout. A subject that keeps cropping up at meetings is the question of what the Ramblers does for us. It’s a bit like the Life of Brian sketch ‘what did the Romans do for us?’ In this edition I will attempt to give an answer to that question. I know that many of us do realise the importance of the Ramblers so I apologise to those in advance. Sadly last year our past Chairman, Graham Rothery passed away. He became Area Countryside Secretary in January 2007 but later in 2008 he became Area Chairman, a position he held until November 2011. He was the MD of Pace Print, who produce Stepout for us. Walking was a great part of his life and in addition to his involvement with the Ramblers he was Chairman of the Heart of England Way Association.

    National Character 69: Trent Valley Washlands Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 69: Trent Valley Washlands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their 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 scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. 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 drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.
