There is much to do. 6 | Essex Wildlife Trust Impact Report 2019 WORKING TOGETHER FOR WILDLIFE WORKING TOGETHER FOR WILDLIFE Essex Wildlife Trust Impact Report 2019 | 7 Demonstrating wildlife gain One of the many new projects we developed in 2019 was Share Our Shores, a partnership project with the RSPB, which you’ll be hearing a lot more about in the coming years. As the human population of Essex grows, we must protect our breeding wildlife. Share Our Shores is one of our first ‘behaviour change’ projects at the Trust. The aim is to increase the populations of important and iconic beach-nesting birds, such as the tiny little tern, the ringed plover, and the brightly beaked oystercatcher, by creating ideal nesting sites and reducing recreational disturbance. Among the most exciting projects to come to fruition in 2019 has been the Essex Barn Owl Conservation Project. In the project’s final year of monitoring, we recorded 207 nesting sites, 51 of which were active sites (one or more eggs) compared to 39 in 2018, with a mean brood size of 3 chicks and a nesting success rate of 24%, the highest recorded by the project. Barn owls are one of Essex’s most iconic birds. To see their numbers increasing is fantastic. 2019 was a significant year for planning casework, one of the most important ways that we influence wildlife gain across the county. We have been involved in green infrastructure planning for the Dunton Hills development in Brentwood, we engaged in the consultation process for Middlewick Ranges in Colchester, and we contributed Protecting to the masterplanning of two strategic housing sites in Chelmsford. We negotiated with the developer of a new housing scheme adjacent to Blue House Farm, the outcome of which was a more sympathetic lighting strategy, and we began work with the Environment Bank on a biodiversity project for Cherry Orchard Jubilee Country Park. A significant amount of work was involved in investigating the planning history that led to habitat damage at Salary Brook in wildlife Colchester, as well as subsequent negotiations. Although we manage over a hundred sites across the county, protecting We also submitted our consultation response to oppose the and enhancing habitats for wildlife, we know that this isn’t enough in development of the Lower Thames Crossing and proposed the context of the climate and ecological crises. Our aim is to enhance a number of large-scale enhancements. and expand our conservation activities, not just preserve the wildlife we already have for posterity. This is just a snapshot of some of our additional projects and activities in 2019.

  • The Essex Field Club
    THE ESSEX FIELD CLUB DEPARTMENT OF LIFE SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON ROMFORD ROAD, STRATFORD, LONDON, E15 4LZ NEWSLETTER NO. 16 February 1996 FROM THE PRESIDENT How would you describe the aims and activities of the present day Essex Field Club? When the Club first came into being it might not have been that inappropriate to regard its activities as encompassing ‘hunting, shooting and fishing’, the collection of dead voucher specimens of everything living in Essex being one of the Club’s primary objectives. Today however, our members would regard themselves as anything but, members of an organization that might be misconstrued as indulging in ‘field sports’ . Our Club is surely primarily a natural history society, with a present-day emphasis an recording, conservatian and natural history education. Your Council had a special meeting on the 31 January to look at the present and potential future role of the EFC in Essex, debating just how we could give the Club a new attractive image that would give us a steadily increasing membership, and how best we might interrelate to such organisations as the Essex Wildlife Trust, English Nature, the National Biological Records Centre and the local county natural history societies. Particularly in view of our proposed partnership in a new museum on Epping Forest. As a result of this meeting Council will be proposing at the next AGM that the Club should change its name to the ESSEX NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY, and redefine its objectives, and rules, in line with its modern image. We propose subtitling the new name with ‘formerly the Essex Field Club’ for a few years, and retention of our ‘speckled wood on blackberry leaf logo’ , to give us continuity.

    NRA Thames 252 RIVER STORT DRAFT CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FLOOD DEFENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT May 1991 NRA National Rii'ers Authority Thames Region U lJ \ T lW ltS RIVER STORT DRAFT CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR FLOOD DEFENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT MAY 1991 prepared by The National Rivers Authority Thames Region with the assistance of Land Use Consultants Flynn and Kothweii Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust Essex Wildlife Trust Lee Donaldson Associates ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 123198 A VISION FOR THE RIVER STORT CATCHMENT The river corridors of ihe Stort Catchment are a valuable natural resource, comprising sensitive ecological habitats, a landscape of considerable diversity and value, and areas which are popular for informal recreation. The Stort Navigation is of particular historical significance and its characteristics make it unique in the Thames Region. The objective of the NRA TR is to conserve and, wherever possible, enhance the value of this resource. This will be achieved through appropriate direct management of the water environment, including the provision of appropriate standards of urban flood protection, and partnership with the riparian local authorities, British Waterways Board and other interested organisations. A central part of this objective is to secure the designation of the corridor of the Lower Stort Valley and the Stort Navigation as a ’Special Heritage Area* in the statutory development plans. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Aim of the Catchment Management Plan Under the 1989 Water Act the National Rivers Authority (NRA) is required to conserve and enhance the water environment. Such an important role requires a multi-disciplinary approach; catchment management planning seeks to provide a multi-disciplinary strategy for each catchment.
