  • Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.

  • Green Lanes Annual Report 2020
    [Type text] OpenGreen Access Lanes Annual Newsletter Report 2019/20 May 2020 Green lanes are tracks across the National Park used by walkers, cyclists, horse riders and motor vehicles. This is our third annual report. It reports on the work we have done in partnership with others over this last year. 1) Involvement Peak District Local Access Forum Our Local Access Forum (LAF), the first to be established in this country, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. For the last 10 years it has had a sub-group looking at the issues of recreational motorised vehicles and green lanes. LAF members come from a wide range of backgrounds and interests. We are grateful for their expertise, advice and guidance provided and their collaborative consensus-based approach. In June 2019, LAF members met officers from Sheffield City Council, Eastern Moors Partnership and Derbyshire Police on the Houndkirk Road to consider how to encourage vehicle users to Stay on Track. Damage to the track verges was looked at and it was clear that we had to change the way of thinking to value the surroundings more than the ability to drive anywhere at will. Options for signage, barriers, reinstatement and enforcement were also considered. www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/vehicles 1 [Type text] OpenGreen Access Lanes Annual Newsletter Report 2019/20 Two Forums The first joint Forum meeting between Peak District Local Access Forum and the Stanage Forum was held in March 2020 on Long Causeway at Stanage. Members discussed enhancing accessibility and considered the potential for a Miles without Stiles route. We also looked at opportunities that the route provides for people to explore the moorland habitat.

It is of international, national, regional, and local importance. Established in 1951, it was the UK’s first national park; there are now fifteen. The designation of national parks is because of their natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage - the ‘special qualities’ that make them so important. They also provide a breathing space and opportunities for learning, discovery and enjoyment for millions of people. The special qualities of the Peak District National Park are detailed in Section 5. Please see Figure 1 for a visual representation of the benefits that the Peak District National Park provides. From the 1995 Environment Act, the purposes of designation are to: • Conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage; and • Promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the area by the public.
