As you will all know, Steve Laurence who had been the Coordinator of the Bat Group for many years decided to retire, so to keep the group going I was persuaded to take on the role. I’m really glad I did, because it is obvious there is still a massive appetite from bat workers in Wiltshire to go out and get involved, to carry on with cutting edge scientific studies and projects and to promote the bat conservation cause. I’m now really pleased to hand the role over into the capable hands of Richard Dodd.

  • South-Central England Regional Action Plan
    Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths.

  • The Hills Group and Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Landfill Communities Fund 2015/16 Report
    The Hills Group and Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Landfill Communities Fund 2015/16 Report Common Spotted Orchid – Clattinger Farm Nature Reserve 2015 Introduction The financial support provided by The Hills Group through the Landfill Communities Fund is vital in protecting biodiversity and enhancing public access and enjoyment to some of the most precious of Britain’s wildlife sites. The unique relationship between The Hills Group and Wiltshire Wildlife Trust has resulted in the protection, maintenance and enhancement of Wiltshire’s natural environment for the benefit of wildlife and people. This brief report illustrates some of the work made possible by the generous support by The Hills Group during 2015/16. Wiltshire Wildlife Trust is very grateful for the support and encouragement provided by The Hills Group and the enduring legacy that this is providing for the people of Wiltshire and beyond. Dr Gary Mantle MBE Chief Executive 26th January, 2016 Lowland Neutral Meadows Landfill Tax amount allocated: £143,545 Over the past 60 years the traditional hay meadows of lowland England have disappeared fast, with just 2‐3% remaining. These meadows are a beautiful reminder of a time when our countryside was full of wildlife and it was normal to hear the song of the skylark (declined by 75% since the late 1970s) and fields were awash with colourful wildflowers buzzing with the sound of countless insects and graced with clouds of butterflies. Fortunately Wiltshire remains a stronghold for the remaining meadows and thanks to the continuing support of The Hills Group through the Landfill Communities Fund, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust has been able to protect maintain and enhance these precious jewels.
