These are East areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good Yorkshire decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

Then one of Alan Richardson's popular petrology workshops, a Mineralogy laboratory, also in October There is one more Branch event in 2017: a Sedimentary Petrology Laboratory Workshop on 9 December, led by Alan Richardson. The Branch committee is now working on the programme for 2018 and we already have a few events confirmed including the Branch AGM and two labs. The first Branch event of 2018 will be the Branch AGM on Saturday 20 January (see the Agenda in this newsletter). This will again take place at the Lapworth Museum. It will include a free lunch, and afterwards there will be a talk by Marco Maffiolo entitled “50 years of plate tectonics”. Marco is a lecturer at Birmingham University and he will discuss how we got to the formulation of the plate tectonics hypothesis 50 years ago, challenges in tectonics.

  • Southern Malvern Hills
    Notes on U3A Geology group field trip to the S Malverns 14th June 2017 led by Dr. David Bullard Dave shared his expertise and detailed knowledge of the Malvern Hills. Having researched the area for his PhD in the 1970s, he has paid numerous return visits, extending and consolidating his understanding of these ancient rocks and the history of their formation. Eight locations were visited, in the order described here. (This was not quite as planned since the second location in the plan was actually visited last.) These notes provide a brief summary of what we learned about the places visited on the day and their implications for the geology of the area. Dave has kindly reviewed them and corrected them where necessary, for which I am most grateful. They hopefully bring together the major geological points, but fail to capture all of the nuances of Dave’s very informative tour, or the humour and infectious enthusiasm with which he entertained us on the day. LOCATION 1: Slashers Quarry (SO 759371) Slashers Quarry and Hollybush Quarry were both exploited for their hard, Pre-Cambrian Malverns Complex stone. They are located on the southern slopes of Midsummer Hill on the flanks of a deep valley that cuts into the hill on a N-S axis, with Slashers Quarry to the West and Hollybush Quarry to the East. The valley coincides with at least a pair of faults dipping steeply to the east. ! The line of the fault coincides with the E face of Slashers quarry. Here the quarrying has exposed rocks on the hanging wall of the fault that consist mostly of Hollybush Sandstone of Cambrian age topped by some Silurian limestone.

It manifests itself in all aspects of the natural world; that of birds being no exception. Some of our residents are nesting earlier while many of our summer migrants are arriving earlier and staying longer, up to three weeks in some cases. It is not possible to show these relatively rapid changes using the average arrival and departure dates as they cover too long a period (over 70 years in some cases) so this year I have included the average dates over the previous eight years (not including the current year) – as used in New Birds of the West Midlands.

  • A People Prepared
    A People Prepared IN 1830, PARLEY P. PRATT, OLIVER COWDERY, Ziba Peterson, and Peter Whitmer accepted a call to serve a mission for the Church to the Lamanites in a wilderness area of the midwest- ern United States. Parley had recently embraced the gospel while serving a mission in western New York for the Baptist Church. He received a copy of the Book of Mormon, read it overnight, became Chapter 2 convinced that it was true, and was baptized in September of 1830. En route to teach the Lamanites, he and his three mission- 23 ary companions passed through the Kirtland area of Ohio, where they shared the gospel message with Parley’s Baptist friend Sid- ney Rigdon and members of Rigdon’s congregations; Rigdon and many of his followers embraced the message. A Kirtland Comparison The people of Kirtland were prepared to receive the gospel. Sid- ney was a former Baptist preacher who had become one of the founders of the Campbellite movement (named after Alexan- der Campbell), which focused on a return to Christian Primitiv- ism—what they perceived as the original gospel from the time of Christ. By 1824, Rigdon could no longer agree with Campbellite doctrines. His belief in baptismal regeneration (baptism for the remission of sins) put him at odds with the Campbellites. They excommunicated him, and most of his congregation left with him (though the Baptist account does not mention this). Rigdon spoke of restoring the “ancient order of things,” which included lay- ing all of one’s possessions down for the use of the mem- bers, which he referred to as his “common stock system.”1 After he had joined the Latter-day Saints, a personal revelation instructed Sidney: “I have heard thy prayers, and pre- pared thee for a greater work.
