We started the project with 6 individuals from all over the world and ended with a real team that can not only deliver an academic report but can also have a good time with each other. We learned a lot during this project about orchards and especially the biodiversity in them. Especially the non-Dutch speaking team members have a way better view of this traditional element in Dutch cultural heritage. We want to thank the commissioner Rob le Rutte for his trust in us a team and for his time to help us in the process. Furthermore, we would like to thank our coach Jim van Laar for all his help guiding the team process. We got a lot of useful tips and although the meetings took a bit longer than planned, they were always joyful. In addition to that we would like to thank our academic advisor Hens Runhaar for his feedback and help with content questions. Last but not least we would like to thank the experts that we have interviewed and the owners of the orchards that have filled in the survey. We hope this report and toolkit will be useful and is the start of a biodiversity monitoring program in orchards. The biodiversity in orchards can be really something special and we care deeply about it and we hope this project is a small attribution to protect it. iii Executive Summary Many flora and fauna species inhabit traditional fruit orchards. Owners of this traditional landscapes often fail to realize the benefits obtained from biodiversity, and practice inadequate management activities on their land that deteriorate habitat quality, and ultimately reduces biodiversity levels. To eliminate this lack of knowledge, a toolkit was developed, by the “Red Apple: Ecological Consultancy Bureau”, to guide landowners in how to implement adequate management practices, and monitor the levels of biodiversity within traditional fruit orchards. The present document compiles the scientific background for the construction of the toolkit, as well as it describes the systematic process performed to design this ‘reference tool’. Important scientific literature was boarded to define concepts like biodiversity, habitat quality, landscape management practices, and ecosystem services. The relation between these elements is boarded on the basis that human well-being needs a balance between human development and the environment. To reach this balance by a correct management of traditional fruit orchards, biodiversity monitoring methods are analysed as a tool that helps to achieve this goal. Biodiversity monitoring methods are studied focusing on four subjects present in traditional fruit orchards, which are: plants, insects, mammals, and birds. The variety of methods studied were combined with the advice of experts in the field, through semi-structured interviews, to produce a useful monitoring system for traditional fruit orchards. Good management practices are recommended in the final product. They were studied from several written sources and complemented with knowledge on the current state of management practices in traditional fruit orchards. This information was provided by landowners through elaborated questionnaires. The conclusion states the importance of good management practices in traditional fruit orchards to maintain and improve biodiversity, and therefore the importance of biodiversity monitoring methods to measure the correct implementation of these practices and their effects in the future. iv Table of Contents Preface iii Executive Summary ................................................................................................................. iv 1.

The conservation contributions from this holiday raised £700, namely £40 per person topped up by Gift Aid through the Honeyguide Wildlife Charitable Trust. Honeyguide is committed to supporting the protection of Lilium rhodopaeum. The Rhodope lily is a scarce endemic flower of the Western Rhodopes, found on just a handful of sites in Bulgaria and just over the border in Greece, about half of which have no protection. Money raised in 2014 was enough to fund Honeyguide leader Vlado Trifonov, who is recognised as the leading authority on the Rhodope lily, for monitoring and mowing for two years at the location visited by Honeyguiders. That includes this year (2015). That work is likely to continue for some years, but other conservation needs in the future are uncertain.

  • MONITORING REPORT 2020 BILL BUDD It Is with Great Sadness That We Must Report the Death of Bull Budd in Autumn 2020
    Wimbledon and Putney Commons ECOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT 2020 BILL BUDD It is with great sadness that we must report the death of Bull Budd in autumn 2020. Bill was our much respected, dragonfly and damselfly recorder and a member of the Wildlife and Conservation Forum. As well as recording on the Commons, Bill also worked as a volunteer at the London Natural History Museum for many years and was the Surrey Vice County Dragonfly Recorder. Bill supported our BioBlitz activities and, with others from the Forum, led dedicated walks raising public awareness of the dragonfly and damselfly populations on the Commons. In September 2020 in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the recording and conservation of Odonata, a newly identified dragonfly species found in the Bornean rainforest* was named Megalogomphus buddi. His contributions will be very much missed. * For further information see: https://british-dragonflies.org.uk/dragonfly-named-after-bds-county-dragonfly-recorder-bill-budd/ Dow, R.A. and Price, B.W.

  • How to Make and Manage a Bee Hotel: Instructions That Really Work by Marc Carlton, Updated November 2017
    How to Make and Manage a Bee Hotel: Instructions that Really Work By Marc Carlton, updated November 2017 What are Solitary Bees ? As well as Bumblebees and Honey bees (that live socially) there are over 240 species of wild bees in the UK that are called 'solitary bees' because they make individual nest cells for their larvae. Most species nest in small tunnels or holes in the ground or in sandy banks, piles of sand, or crumbling mortar or sparse starved lawns. You can leave areas of bare soil or gravel in your garden for these. Others use the hollow stems of dead plants such as brambles, or tunnels previously bored into dead wood by beetles. A number of species of small solitary wasps share a similar lifestyle. Harmless to us, they are predators of small insects. Some of the more distinctive ones that are common in gardens are described in my fact sheet about solitary bees and gardens. Although they are known as solitary bees, some species will group their nest cells together in aggregations, and a few have evolved social behaviour rather like bumblebees. Many solitary bees are very small and you may not have realised they are bees. All collect nectar and pollen from flowers, except the so-called 'cuckoo' species that lay their eggs in the nest cells of other species. Solitary bees are harmless and not aggressive. They rarely if ever sting unless trodden on or squashed between your fingers. They do not have painful stings like honeybees. In most cases if they attempt to sting, you will not even feel it.

  • Building an Insect Hotel Habitat
    Building an Insect Hotel Habitat Why Build One? Our gardens are home to a wide range of living creatures. An average garden could hold over 2,000 different species of insect! With all this diversity of life it is good to know that very few creatures cause significant damage to our prized flowers, fruit and vegetables, the ones that gardeners call pests. Even better, there are many more creatures that help us control the pests. By providing the right habitats we can greatly increase the number of beneficial insects in the garden. Some wild invertebrates, such as bumblebees and solitary bees, are declining in numbers in the wider countryside, so by providing homes we can contribute to their conservation. The Insect Hotel on display is built entirely from recycled materials. The main structure is discarded pallets, and much of the additional wood is the product of routine woodland management operations. This sheet tells you how to build a similar habitat, but if this is too ambitious, there are plenty of ideas which can be used on a smaller scale in any garden. Where to site your habitat Many invertebrates like cool damp conditions, so you can site your habitat in semi shade, by a hedge or under a tree. Putting the habitat close to other wildlife features, such as an overgrown hedge, a shrubbery or a pond will make it easier for small creatures to find it. Not all creatures like to be in the shade: solitary bees like a warm sunny spot, so put tubes for bees on the sunniest side of the habitat, or put them elsewhere in the garden.
