  • Cambridge Nature Network Final Report
    Cambridge Nature Network Final Report FOREWORD I’m delighted to introduce this important report. For years, now, we have known we need to ensure nature’s recovery, and for years that has been an all-too-elusive ambition. In fact, we are still overseeing nature’s decline. It’s a ship that simply must be turned around. Now we have a clear way forward. This report, building on the ambition to double nature in Cambridgeshire, tells us precisely how and where we can do it. Working from the ground up, looking at real places and the actual state of nature, it offers for the first time a tangible plan for the revitalisation of nature in the 10km around the city of Cambridge, based on what is already there and how it can be brought back to life. And there’s more. Fully integrated with the vision for nature recovery is one for the enhancement and creation of green spaces for public recreation and refreshment – vital needs, as we have come to understand fully during the covid-19 crisis. The risk with nature recovery is that in our enthusiasm we may do the wrong thing in the wrong place: plant trees on peat or valuable grassland, or put hedgerows in where the landscape should be open. This report will ensure we do the right thing in the right place. It provides a place-based analysis of where existing nature sites can be enhanced, what kind of nature-friendly farming to encourage, how to create stepping-stones to create new, linked nature networks, and how, overall, the ambition for doubling nature can be met.

    NRA Anglii j i t - u THE OUSE WASHES “The Ouse Washes offer a rich variety of experiences both as an internationally important wildlife site and its continuing role of protecting the fens from flooding. ” O wildlife RSPB NRA National Rivers Authority Anglian Region THE ANGLIAN REGION The Anglian Region hosts a rich variety of wildlife habitats, flora and landscapes associated with its streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, wetlands, estuaries and coastal waters. Many of these are protected by statutory designations, for example, 75% of the coastline is covered by a conservation and/or landscape designation. Five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty fall either partially or wholly within Anglian Region, along with England's newest National Park - the Broads. A fifth of England and Wales internationally important wetlands, from large estuaries such as the Humber and the Wash, to Ouse Washes in flood washlands such as the Ouse Washes, occur within this region. THE OUSE WASHES - FLOOD DEFENCE IMPORTANCE The Middle and South Level Barrier Banks contain Bedford Ouse flood flows within the Ouse Washes and are therefore vital for the flood protection of the Cambridgeshire Fens.

THE MARSH AND FEN VEGETATION OF ESTHWAITE WATER The terrestrial hydrophytic vegetation at Esthwaite falls naturally into two subdivisions: A. The purely zonal plant communities bearing no relation to the aquatic succession. B. The communities succeeding aquatic plants as the mud gets above the water level. I propose to refer to these two types of communities respectively as marsh andfen types, since the habitats, plant communities, and biotic relationships of each are widely different.

  • Appendix A: Nature Conservation Sites in Cambridgeshire Potentially Affected by East West Rail (Central)
    Appendix A: Nature Conservation Sites in Cambridgeshire potentially affected by East West Rail (central) Map overlay – routes could affect these sites as they are within the hatched areas (although we recognise that the maps show route options, so are indicative and not very accurate). All route options, and B and E in particular, could have impacts on the connectivity of the ecological network in the West Cambridgeshire Hundreds area. Impacts on habitat connectivity for all species will need to be considered for all routes. A protected species of particular interest in this area is the barbastelle bat - the SAC at Wimpole and Eversden Woods is designated for its maternity roost of barbastelle bats, which are known to range widely across the landscape and use many of the other nearby woods for breeding.

  • Natural Environment – Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)
    East Cambridgeshire District Council Natural Environment – Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) Adopted 24 September 2020 Contact: Strategic Planning team East Cambridgeshire District Council Email: [email protected] Tel: 01353 665555 East Cambridgeshire District Council – Natural Environment SPD: Adopted September 2020 A simple guide to this Natural Environment Supplementary Planning Document What is this document? Its primary purpose is to help make sure new development in East Cambridgeshire both protects the current natural environment, but also creates new areas for wildlife to thrive. Do we have many wildlife areas worthy of protection in East Cambridgeshire? Yes, lots! In fact, some parts of the district are of international importance for wildlife, whilst other sites are of national or local importance. Internationally important? That’s exciting. Why are they so important? For various reasons, but mostly it relates to surviving wetland areas in our district which are home to rare plants, birds and other animals. Wicken Fen is probably the best known, and home to all kinds of rare plants and animals (8,500 different species have been recorded, including over 1,000 different species of moths!), whereas in the north of the district the Ouse Washes (the UKs biggest washland) is especially important for birds. For example, around one-third of the entire population of north-west Europe Bewick Swans spend their winter on the Ouse Washes. And nationally important in East Cambs? We have a further 15 sites of national importance, and hundreds of sites of more local importance. So, this document protects these sites does it? Yes, absolutely, this document provides a vital role in helping to both highlight the importance of these sites and to make sure new development does not harm them.

  • Analysis of Sites Where Regular Species Monitoring Activities Are Undertaken in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough
    Analysis of sites where regular species monitoring activities are undertaken in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough As part of our memorandum of agreement with Natural England and the Environment Agency for 2013-14, we have been asked to identify sites where individuals or groups are carrying out species surveys in a structured and repeated manner, whether as part of national monitoring programmes, or independently. We initiated the process by collating publicly-available sites in monitoring schemes such as the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS) or the British Trust for Ornithology’s (BTO) Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS) and data provided by the Wildlife Trust for Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire (WTBCN) from their reserve monitoring and Ecology Groups programmes. This collated list was then distributed to our county recorders and other naturalists, and numerous additions were then added by these individuals and organisations. A summary of the sites, taxa and method if known are presented overleaf. We aim to use this information as the basis for transferring the methods within currently monitored sites, and for widening the network of regular monitoring by promoting these survey methods to individuals and groups keen to learn and adopt such methods for their sites. We are also aware that the Cambridge Bryophyte Group survey across the whole county, and aim to revisit every site on a 10 year cycle. Similarly, the Cambridge Lichen group are resurveying sites visited in the 1960s and 19770s, especially churchyards, and then hope to try and revisit sites every 10 years, but this form of long-term surveillance is hard to document in the format presented here.
