Previous management plan The site has benefited from a previous management plan; Berengrave Local Nature Reserve Site Management Plan 2006-2011 Medway Council in Partnership with Friends of Berengrave. This previous management plan provided a vision for the site alongside management aims. These are as follows: Vision: “Berengrave will be managed to enhance the habitats, flora and fauna, and to restore areas of historic significance. Management will foster public interest and ownership through improved access and continued consultation, allowing the development of recreation, interpretation and education”.

These Aims are as follows: Positively welcome visitors to Berengrave, in terms of physical, intellectual and social access. Ensure a healthy, safe and secure experience for users. Provide a well-maintained and clean reserve. Improve the environmental quality and sustainability of practices carried out on the reserve. Maintain and develop the ecological and conservation value of the full range of wildlife habitats and heritage sites, whilst ensuring access and provision for users. Provide opportunities to further increase community use and involvement through events, education and interpretation. Ensure effective promotion of the reserve as an important wildlife and community resource. Ensure all those involved in the management and maintenance of Berengrave Nature reserve effectively use the Management Plan as a working document.

Records, photographs and information regarding the occurrences of these plants in Kent will be welcome. The register accounts give priority to data from 2010 onwards, but some historic data are also included (however, generally not specific sites with no post-1970 records) so as to indicate trends and where the plant may yet be discovered or rediscovered. Distribution maps for records from 2010 onwards show vice counties 15 and 16 in white (the boundary between is a black line) and local authority boundaries by red lines.

It prefers light, sandy, acidic soils, and requires open conditions to grow well. It can be found on disturbed ground, such as tracks and field edges, along hedgerows and in dry pasture. In Kent it is found on Kent Wildlife Trust’s Sandwich Bay National Nature Reserve and at Farnigham Woods.

  • Wildlife Trust Ecology Groups
    Wildlife Trust Ecology Groups Survey Programme 2019 Welcome to the 2019 Ecology Groups programme, as you will see Ecology Groups are growing into new areas of the county and there are more surveys to get involved with. Our Ecology Groups have been established to help us demonstrate the effect of our reserve management work and to assess the quality of the habitats we manage. Ecology Groups are part of a team within our Conservation & Policy Department and you’ll be in the field surveying and collecting data on species and habitats. You’ll learn a huge amount through this work, gaining skills to identify species, provide valuable data and see it used to benefit wildlife conservation in Kent. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from experienced staff and volunteers who will help to develop your survey and identification skills. All you need is an interest in wildlife, you don’t need a background or any prior knowledge, but you’ll likely want to grow your skills and help us to make a difference for wildlife. Volunteering with Ecology Groups a great role for students and those wishing to gain experience in the conservation sector as well as anyone wanting to learn more about species and habitats. If you are building your CV, in order to gain the most of this opportunity, we would recommend volunteers participating in both surveying role and our Ecology Group data processing role (for more details contact [email protected]). We also encourage our Ecology Group volunteers to participate in our Wildlife Study Day programme of activities, there is a charge for these, but a discount is offered on many of these for active volunteers.

  • The Conservation Charity That Medway Council Works Very Closely with at Ranscombe Farm……
    Climate Change Member Advisory Board Mini-Meadows Update – September 2020 Introduction According to Plantlife – the conservation charity that Medway Council works very closely with at Ranscombe Farm……. Ninety seven percent of the flower rich meadows present in the 1930's, have now disappeared. Nearly 1,400 species of pollinators and other insects rely on these meadows for their survival. Here in Medway, we have done a great deal to redress this loss. As a Council we own and manage nearly 2000 ha of land much of which is amenity grassland. Alongside the work at Ranscombe Farm, our two Country Parks and sites such as Darland Banks, the Great Lines Heritage Park and Rede Common are key sites in our efforts to protect this hugely important habitat. We also know that meadows play a crucial role in the sequestration of carbon from the atmosphere, with over 10kg more carbon held per square metre compared with amenity grassland. We need to manage our greenspaces for a multiplicity of uses; formal sports such a football and rugby, dog walking and children’s play. However, there is also plenty of space available for biodiversity and carbon capture. This report looks at the work done this year to introduce new meadows to our greenspaces and how this can then be taken forward. Mini-Meadows Medway Norse proposed to the Council six sites where small meadow habitats could be developed in order to understand how best we can manage this new approach to our urban greenspaces: Cliff Road Play Area Broomhill Park Gillingham Park Kings Frith Queen Elizabeth Court Vinall Park In addition, the members of St.
