  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

Photo 4 July 2019, © Lliam Rooney Introduction Kent Botany 2019 is the tenth report in the Kent Botany series, reporting on current botanical developments in the county. It represents a significant milestone, as 2019 brings to an end ten seasons of recording by the Kent Botanical Recording Group, founded in March 2010. It is also the end of the Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland’s (BSBI) date class 2010-19, a ten-year period for the assemblage of records which may be compared with previous ten-year date classes, to identify trends in the distribution of our flora. In addition, it is the end of the BSBI’s Atlas 2020 project, which seeks to map the current status of the British and Irish flora, following up the last mapping (Preston et al., 2002), twenty years before. This report is issued primarily as a web version, maintained on the Kent page of the BSBI website, https://bsbi.org/kent, and this should be regarded as the definitive version. The text, substantially the same, is also published as hard copy within the Kent Field Club (KFC) Bulletin. Highlights Highlights for 2019 included the following: Juncus ranarius (Frog Rush) has been restored to the Kent flora, with the discovery of a population at Crossness; Juncus x surrejanus (J.

It prefers light, sandy, acidic soils, and requires open conditions to grow well. It can be found on disturbed ground, such as tracks and field edges, along hedgerows and in dry pasture. In Kent it is found on Kent Wildlife Trust’s Sandwich Bay National Nature Reserve and at Farnigham Woods.

  • Sawfly Study Group Newsletter 2
    Newsletter 2 JANUARY 2007 Editor: Guy Knight, National Museums Liverpool William Brown Street, Liverpool, L3 8EN, UK [email protected] Thank you all for the encouragement and notes contributed since the previous newsletter was sent out last spring. This issue contains a variety of articles dealing with national and local recording, conservation status, behaviour and taxonomy. I am especially pleased that some of the notes in the last issue have been followed up and enhanced by what appears in this one. Because of costs, this is the last newsletter that will be sent out as printed copies unless specifically requested, so, if you have not already done so, please let me know if you can receive it electronically or require it on paper. Best wishes for a productive new year and please continue to send any contributions to me at the address above. RECENT LITERATURE This list is not exhaustive, but highlights some key literature and websites that have come to my attention in the past year. The end of last year saw the publication of the excellent Recent Sawfly Research: Synthesis and Prospects edited by S. Blank, S. Schmidt & A. Taeger (Goecke & Evers, Keltern, ISBN 3- 937783-19-9, 704pp). The book is a collection of about 40 papers detailing recent research on European and world sawfly life history & ecology, taxonomy, faunistics and checklists as well as reviews, biographies and a CD ROM of valuable ‘historic’ literature and colour plates. Several of the papers mentioned as ‘in prep’ or ‘in press’ in the note on recent additions to the British list in the last newsletter have now been published.

    1 Kent Rare Plant Register Draft species accounts J & K Compiled by Geoffrey Kitchener and the Kent Botanical Recording Group Issue date: February 2016 2 Kent rare plant register This section of the register covers: Jasione montana Juncus acutus Juncus compressus Juncus squarrosus Juncus subnodulosus Juniperus communis Knautia arvensis It is issued in draft, pending further development. Records, photographs and information regarding the occurrences of these plants in Kent will be welcome. The register accounts give priority to data from 2010 onwards, but some historic data are also included (however, generally not specific sites with no post-1970 records) so as to indicate trends and where the plant may yet be discovered or rediscovered. Distribution maps for records from 2010 onwards show vice counties 15 and 16 in white (the boundary between is a black line) and local authority boundaries by red lines. See the Kent webpage of the BSBI website at http://www.bsbi.org.uk/kent.html for the full Kent rare plant register list, the introduction to the register and a list of ‘probably extinct’ Kent plants.
