Countryside Jobs Service Weekly® CJS - The original, the biggest and the best in the field, THE countryside specialists since 1994 The original weekly newsletter for countryside staff Every Friday : 8 January 2021 CJS is endorsed by the Scottish Countryside Rangers Association and the Countryside Management Association. Featured Charity: Campaign for National Parks www.countryside-jobs.com [email protected] 01947 896007 CJS®, The Moorlands, Goathland, Whitby YO22 5LZ Created by Anthea & Niall Carson, July ’94 Happy New Year from the CJS Team. Well, this isn't quite what I'd thought I'd be writing to you today. As we enter a new lockdown rest assured CJS is here and, as before, will continue to work through the restrictions, however long they last, posting jobs, news and information. As the last lockdown showed (see reports in the news headlines) nature and the countryside was much needed and highly valued by many. We're here to support everyone working in and for the British countryside, tell us what you want to see, what you'd like to read and we'll do our best to find it for you. And as before we'll try to incorporate as much good news and spirit lifters as we can, feel free to send and share your own. All our COVID-19 updates can be found here. We're still hoping that 2021 will be a better one than 2020. It's going to be a year of rebuilding (with luck and a following wind!), of standing strong but remaining flexible enough to bend with whatever comes next. As before everyone is still working from home on flexible hours to fit round family commitments which once again includes home schooling - sigh. To work with this the team is normally available between ten and four but you may receive responses at other times. Facebook Live session with Richard Dodd of Wildwood Ecology on 13 January. Richard says “Many ecologists find it hard to gain their first job or develop themselves professionally because their “real lives” have gotten in the way. When people stop learning, though, they hurt their chances of succeeding in their career. Our online academy teaches the skills every professional ecologist needs to know to secure that job or bring greater value to the company they work for.” Richard has worked as a professional ecologist since 2000 in the public, voluntary and private sectors. He is a writer, contributing to articles on ecology and business management, and a guest lecturer at the Royal Agricultural University, Cirencester. His company, Wildwood Ecology, is the first to be Certified as a B Corporation and helps people resolve their planning and development issues where ecological surveys and expert advice is needed. Each year they support over 300 clients and have a 100% success rate in obtaining protected species licences, such as for bats and newts. They were recognised by CIEEM as ‘Ecological Consultancy of the Year’ in 2019, which enabled Richard to recruit a great team and expand their services, including the launch of the Ecology Training Academy (https://wildwoodecologytraining.thinkific.com/).

Globally and nationally wildlife is in steep decline. We appear to be reaching critical tipping points around the loss of biodiversity as well as around climate change, both being interlinked. Human society cannot prosper without wildlife and healthy ecosystems. Kent’s wildlife needs to be restored to much higher levels. We can no longer allow common things to become rare. We can only do this by restoring large-scale habitat from degraded land. Doing this will contribute to solving global problems. But we won’t be able to do this unless we publicly aspire to a higher level of impact and show that we can deliver this. The Job: Kent Wildlife Trust is seeking an experienced Warden to manage the Trust’s internationally important North Kent Marshes nature reserves at South Swale and Oare Marshes, near Faversham and several reserves on the Kent Downs. The Warden will also work with other colleagues on devising and implementing strategies to reduce human disturbance on a range of our coastal reserves. You: You are an enthusiastic, positive person who can demonstrate a good background in land management techniques, ecological principles, wildlife and habitat monitoring, all while ensuring a safe working environment. You will be able to engage with a wide range of people to champion Kent’s wildlife and deliver practical results by leading and managing volunteers and contractors. Contact details: If you would like to discuss the post further, please email [email protected] or [email protected]. For an application pack and to apply, visit our website at www.kentwildlifetrust.org.uk. The Kent Wildlife Trust Group is Wild About Inclusion. To us, this means inspiring, empowering and engaging people from all backgrounds, cultures, identities and abilities, to change the natural world for the better. It also means cultivating inclusive workspaces that are free from discrimination, where differences are celebrated, everyone can be themselves and flourish, just like nature!

    34 MYRIAPODS on the OUTER HEBRIDES Gordon B Corbet Little

    BULLETIN OF THE BRITISH MYRIAPOD AND ISOPOD GROUP Volume 20 2004 MYRIAPODS ON THE OUTER HEBRIDES Gordon B Corbet Little Dumbarnie, Upper Largo, Leven, Fife, KY8 6JG. INTRODUCTION Published records of myriapods from the Outer Hebrides are scanty and are summarised in three sources. Waterston (1981) recorded 15 species, with a list of islands from which each had been recorded. This incorporated records from Barra in 1935 reported by Waterston (1936). The provisional atlases (British Myriapod Group, 1988 for millipedes, Barber & Keay, 1988 for centipedes) recorded seven species, adding two to the total, but did not claim to be comprehensive with regard to earlier published records. In addition there are unpublished records of millipedes rising from a survey of invertebrates conducted in 1976 by the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (ITE, 1979). This included pitfall-trapping at 18 sites on Lewis/Harris, North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist, but produced only Cylindroiulus latestriatus (at every site), plus a single Polydesmus inconstans on North Uist. I visited the Outer Hebrides from 3rd to 13th June 2003 and recorded myriapods on the following islands: Lewis/Harris, Great Bernera (bridged), Scalpay (bridged), South Uist, Eriskay (bridged), Barra and Vatersay (bridged). Recording was solely by hand searching in leaf-litter and under stones, wood and refuse. The general impression was that myriapods were scarce, with a large proportion of turned stones revealing nothing. In contrast earwigs, Forficula auricularia were unusually abundant. MILLIPEDES Waterston (1981) recorded six species, including one, Cylindroiulus britannicus, from St Kilda only. The provisional atlas recorded four species post-1970 adding Ophyiulus pilosus.

    Dipterists Digest Scottish Islands Series Edited by Derek Whiteley Contributions by E.G. Hancock, A.R. Plant, K.P. Bland, 0. Whiteley, D. Horsfield Introduction E.G. Hancock Between 25-29 June 1990, ttie 10th Annual Scottish Entomologists' Field Meeting was located on Rum, previously spelt Rhum, apparently Incorrectly (Campbell, 1991). To mark a decade of these field meetings it was appropriate to be invited by the Nature Conservancy Council to spend a week recording insects there. Twenty two entomologists travelled to the west of Scotland of whom fourteen contributed records of Diptera. In the past, and since then, the support of the NCC and its successor bodies has been of great benefit to these annual field meetings which has been reciprocated by the provision of records on the sites visited. In 1990 we were specifically invited to Rum for several reasons. This island is one of the Inner Hebrides and has been managed as a National Nature Reserve since 1957. It has been over twenty years since extensive systematic recording viras last undertaken and subsequently published as an impressive listing (Wormell, 1982). Also the effect of new management practices were beginning to have an effect on the landscape which might be reflected in a change in the insect fauna. The most visible of these was a programme of tree planting, sometimes within fenced areas to protect the plants from grazing damage by red deer, it has been shown in some of the results already published (Hancock, 1992) that there are some detectable additions to the fauna attributable to the greater abundance and variety of trees.

    ‘There is none who deeme their houses well-seated who have nott to the same belonging a commonwealth of coneys, nor can he be deemed a good housekeeper that hath nott a plenty of these at all times to furnish his table.’ (R Reyce, A Breviary of Suffolk 1618) ‘For much of its history, the rabbit has remained a rare and highly-prized commodity.’ (Mark Bailey, Agricultural History Review 36 P1-20) 1 Introduction The 1.1 If you enter Thetford Forest Park at its southern edge, Barton Mills, and travel north Archaeology of the to beyond Ickburgh, you pass through a landscape which was once ‘ very barren soyle Warrens of neverthelesse very good for brede of coneys’. (Lease for Brandon Warren, 1563 PRO E 310/24/138). From the late 12th to the early 20th century, the Breckland region was Thetford Forest noted for its warrens, areas designated for the farming of rabbits for their meat and fur. 1.2 Many of these warrens were established and owned by the great medieval monasteries or by the great landowners such as the Duchy of Lancaster. Lakenheath and Brandon, for example, belonged to the Prior of Ely; Mildenhall to Bury Abbey; Wangford to Old Warden Abbey and Santon, Snarehill and Bodney were leased to Thetford Priory by the Duchy. By the late 15th century, most warrens were leased to professional warreners with leases stipulating supplies to the manorial household such as that for Shouldham Warren of 20 June 1634: ‘two hundred of good and merchantable coneys serviceable for his own table’ had to be delivered to Sir John Hare on demand.
