  • 3.0 Project Pipeline
    3.0 Project Pipeline Following the workshop the project proposals were summarised into a pipeline. This was shared with all attendees for comments and further input and then reviewed by the North East LNP Natural Environment Group and other LNP representatives. The following summary provides an overview of project potential and likelihood of development. It is clear from this that there are potential landscape projects in the pipeline until 2019. Beyond this there is significant potential for further delivery, however the majority of these projects are currently at an outline stage and would require significant work to move towards delivery. This pipeline will be reviewed annually by the 3 North East LNPs to ensure that it remains a current overview of landscape delivery potential and allow partners to focus and align resources to ensure that there is the best approach taken to achieve delivery. It is anticipated that during this process, some projects will be discounted from the pipeline as delivery is unachievable whilst new ideas may be added as new opportunities are presented. Title Living Wild at Kielder Forest Source Existing project Lead Organisation Kielder Water and Forest Park Development Trust Estimated Size Geography Kielder Forest Project description Help people experience and learn about the area’s special animals and plants through the development of ‘nature hubs’ and a year-round events and activity programme.

  • The Rare Plant Register of South Northumberland (VC67) 2010 Quentin J
    The Rare Plant Register of South Northumberland (VC67) 2010 Quentin J. Groom and A. John Richards Introduction The Vice-County Rare Plant Registers are an initiative of the Botanical Society of the British Isles to summarise the status of rare and conservation-worthy plants in each vice-county. The intention is to create an up-to-date summary of the sites of rare plants and their status at these sites. Rare Plant Registers intend to identify gaps in our knowledge, aid conservation efforts and encourage monitoring of our rare plants. Criteria for Inclusion The guidelines of the BSBI were followed in the production of this Rare Plant Register. All native vascular plants with a national status of “rare” (found in 1-15 hectads in Britain) or “scarce” (found in 16-100 hectads in Britain) are included even if that species is not native to South Northumberland. In addition, all native species locally rare or scarce in South Northumberland are included, as are extinct native species. These guidelines were occasionally relaxed to include some local specialities and hybrids of note. We would have liked to restrict the list to current sites for each species. However, in many cases, there is too little up-to-date information to make this possible. The listed sites are those where the species might still exist or has existed recently. In most cases, a site is included if a species has been recorded there since 1970. Sites without detailed locality information or of dubious provenance are not included. Where possible, we have tried to show the known history of a site by noting the date of first and last record.
