Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park project began in 2002 when the South Edinburgh Partnership (SEP) responded to community concerns about the poor condition of the park. A Steering Group (SG) consisting of representatives from the local community and other stakeholders was set up and a seven year development plan commissioned. This provided the blueprint for a development programme, which to date has seen over £750,000 invested in the park from a variety of grant giving bodies. The park achieved Local Nature Reserve Status (LNR) in February 2007. One of the main objectives of the development plan was to obtain Local Nature Reserve designation for the park. The park was successfully declared as a Local Nature Reserve by the City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) in February 2007. A requirement of LNR status is to produce a management plan within six years of designation. SECTION ONE: SITE DESCRIPTION The Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park LNR is an elongated linear greenspace feature occupying the valley of the Burdiehouse Burn between the housing areas of Moredun, Gilmerton, Burdiehouse and Southhouse, located to the south of Edinburgh city centre, and can be easily accessed by most of the population of Edinburgh. The park contains a network of paths generally following the line of the burn while passing though the woodland features and amenity grassland. The park is orientated generally northeast to southwest. The Burdiehouse Burn also flows in this direction. The area is served by a system of paths. Most of the primary path routes have been recently upgraded and new access created in the form of ramps into the valley to cater for multi-user access. The paths cross the Burdiehouse Burn via a number of bridges proving access to both sides of the valley along the burn. D:\Ranger\My Documents\BBVP\Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park Management Plan 2008\green flag Management plan.doc 4 A number of schools are located nearby with Burdiehouse Primary School being located on the edge of the Park. The Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park LNR lies within the designated Greenbelt for the City of Edinburgh. The LNR covers the area mainly along the Burdiehouse Burn from Burdiehouse Road to Gilmerton Road - see maps I, II III and IV overleaf. Map I shows an overall view of Edinburgh to give an idea of the park’s location in the city, map II shows the LNR boundaries, map III shows bus routes and details of interesting features for the first section of the park and map IV gives the same information for the second section of the park. The park can be naturally divided into two main sections: • Burdiehouse/ Southhouse area: From Burdiehouse Road to Lasswade Road (including the Dip area) • Gilmerton area: From Lasswade Road (including Hyvots area and Ellen’s Glen hamlet) to Gilmerton Road Summary information: Park name: Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park Local Nature Reserve.

    Characterization of Fuel before and after a Single Prescribed Fire in an Appalachian Hardwood Forest • Elizabeth bucks, Mary A. Arthur, Jessi E. Lyons, and David L. Loftis Improved understanding of how fuel loads and prescribed fire interact in Appalachian hardwood forests can help managers evaluate the impacts of increased use of prescribed fire in the region. The objective of this study was to characterize fuel loads before and after a single late-winter/early spring prescribed fire and after autumn leaf fall. A repeated measures split-plot design was used to examine dead and down fuels by treatment, sampling time, and landscape position. Preburn mean fuel moss was 40.5 Mg/ha with the duff (Oea) comprising the largest component (19.5 Mg/ha; 48%), followed by large (more than 7.6 cm in diameter) downed lags (9.6 Mg/ha; 24%). Fuel mass was similar across landscape positions; however, duff depth was greater on subxeric compared with intermediate and submesic landscape positions. Burning reduced litter mass (0i; P < 0.00]) and duff depth (P = 0.01). Changes in woody fuels (1-, 10-, 100-, and 1,000-hour) and duff mass were not statistically significant. Post—leaf fall fuel masses did not differ from preburn masses. Thus, a single prescribed burn did not accomplish significant fuel reduction. However, significant declines in duff depth and fuel bed continuity may limit the spread of fire beyond leaf fall and increase potential for soil erosion. This study contributes to the dialogue regarding the use of fire in the Appalachian forest region and impacts on fuel loads.

  • Transcription Template
    Transcript of recorded conversation with Laurence Demarco and Dr Gillian Murray (Abercorn on Friday 5th December 2014) Laurence trained as a community worker and worked in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh from 1976 until 1990. He Then worked as a consultant from 1990 to 1999, before founding Senscot in 1999. Senscot continues to be an important support organisation for social enterprise in Scotland today. How and at what point in your life did you become involved in social enterprise? Well I was involved in social enterprise long before it was called social enterprise. From memory I would say the mid-1990s but to trade I am a community worker. I think social enterprise the ideal model of it is when the social enterprise is a community enterprise. I think the model is perfectly suited for serving a particular community, owned by the people who live there. So I was involved in that activity for many years. I went to Wester Hailes in particular in 1976. I worked there for fourteen years setting up community enterprises of various kinds so I was no stranger to them. When I was in Wester Hailes we set up lots of trading businesses which the community owned. We set up the Wester Hailes Land and Property Trust which still trades and owns a lot of property. I was without of employment in 1999 and with a few other people I set up Senscot and that was explicitly to connect-up social entrepreneurs. We realised that across Scotland there were any number of people like myself setting things up in communities and that their work would be more effective if they were joined-up and told each other what they doing.

  • Newsletter No. 29, Autumn 2011
    Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links N E W S L E T T E R 29 Autumn 2011 Editor’s Comment At the moment we have no official Convener, but we hope to be able to elect one at our forthcoming meeting on 29 November. This meeting will be chaired by Linda Hendry, who has indicated her willingness to stand as Convener. So just for this once, I will endeavour to fill the introductory slot. Alternative Business Models We have a number of contentious issues to face this month. Our main challenge is to influence in whatever way we consider best the proposal from Edinburgh City Council to ‘outsource’ Park services (i.e. privatize, or give the contract to the company Enterprise). It is not immediately clear what this might involve, but a circular from Council officers reads as follows: The Council, like all UK public sector bodies, is facing economic challenges. We must achieve at least £90m of efficiency savings by 2013/14 while continuing to deliver our current services . We’re doing this through a major Council programme called ‘Alternative Business Models’. We’re looking at two possible approaches: asking a specialist partner to work with us to improve and deliver your services on the Council’s behalf; [or] making improvements to how we deliver your services from inside the Council itself. We’re looking at improvements and efficiencies in a number of areas, including . how we manage parks and green spaces. So there we have it: either the Council improves services (on a reduced budget), or services are outsourced.
