  • Years Let Nature Inspire
    95years Let nature inspire Saving Norfolk’s Wildlife for the Future Nature inspires me to... Over the last year many of us have taken comfort and inspiration from nature. he internet has lit up with creative responses Tto the natural world – photographs, drawings, poetry and podcasts – and our slowed-down, locally-limited lives have led to countless numbers of us noticing nature’s species and cycles more keenly than ever before. This new booklet captures some of these personal and creative responses to the natural world, along with ideas for how nature can inspire us to learn more, explore more and get creative! Your one-stop shop We have made a brand new webpage to bring together activities, further information, links to resources from our partners and other conservation organisations. From here, you can also explore our Frequently Asked Questions, book on to Cley Calling Presents events, add pictures to our wildlife gallery and more. Join in online on your favourite social media with #natureinspires sharing your pictures, activities, wildlife spots – whatever you want to share with us! We can’t wait to see it. www.norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk/natureinspires Ask for help Take action The team running the Wildlife Information Service love talking about wildlife! If you can’t find an answer to your question in our FAQs online, or if you spot an animal or plant and you don’t know what it is, take a photograph for our garden of it and get in touch: [email protected] wildlife Gardens are increasingly important for a whole range of threatened wildlife, from declining hedgehogs and house sparrows to frogs and toads.

  • Spaces Wild, London Wildlife Trust
    SPACES WILD championing the values of London’s wildlife sites Protecting London’s wildlife for the future Foreword London is a remarkably green city supporting a wide diversity of habitats and species. Almost half of its area is blue and green space, and almost a fifth – covering over 1,500 different sites - is of sufficient value to biodiversity to be identified worthy of protection. These wildlife sites consist of much more than nature reserves, ranging from wetlands to chalk downs that are often valued by the local community for uses other than habitat. They have been established for almost 30 years, and as a network they provide the foundations for the conservation and enhancement of London’s wildlife, and the opportunity for people to experience the diversity of the city’s nature close to hand. They are a fantastic asset, but awareness of wildlife sites – the Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) – is low amongst the public (compared to, say, the Green Belt). There is understandable confusion between statutory wildlife sites and those identified through London’s planning process. In addition the reasons why SINCs have been identified SINCs cover 19.3% of the are often difficult to find out. With London set to grow to 10 million people by 2030 the pressures on our wildlife Greater London area sites will become profound. I have heard of local authorities being forced to choose between saving a local park and building a school. Accommodating our growth without causing a decline in the quality of our natural assets will be challenging; we have a target to build an estimated 42,000 homes a year in the capital merely to keep up with demand.

  • The Woodlander
    Autumn at Sydenham Hill Wood (DG) In this issue: Open Day blockbuster Volunteers clean up mess Wildlife sightings The Crystal Palace High Level railway And winter bird walk Contact: [email protected] 0207 252 9186 Twitter Facebook Protecting London’s wildlife for the future Registered Charity Number: 283895 Follow London Wildlife Trust on Twitter and Facebook Sydenham Hill Wood News Volunteers clean up after double arson attack After suffering a double arson attack on our fencing storage at Sydenham Hill Wood in August, it was left to volunteers from the local community to clean up the debris and piles of charcoal. It is not unusual to have to deal with minor incidents of vandalism and attempts to damage fencing, sometimes with fire, but this was nd different. The first arson attack took place on Saturday 2 August and the second on the following Monday. The fire brigade was called in to put out both fires. Thank you to the London Fire Service for all their work in doing so. One of the main concerns, apart from damage to property and equipment was the protection of bats which use the tunnel to roost and hibernate. We know that bats swarm in the tunnel in summer but they are unlikely to have been harmed as the tunnel has another point of exit for bats on the southern, Lewisham end. In September Southwark Council covered the damaged façade with steel sheeting to stop anyone gaining unlawful access to the tunnel in future. The tunnel was built in the 1860s as part of the Crystal Palace High Level railway but closed in 1954.
