  • Name: Thames-Side Green Corridors
    Biodiversity Opportunity Area Statement Name: Mid Kent Downs, Woods and Scarp Description: The Mid Kent Downs Woods and Scarp opportunity area stretches from Detling Hill through to Sheldwich and Charing. The area is within the Kent Downs AONB and contains over a high number of LWSs such as Gorham Woods and Wichling Wood and several SSSIs. National Character Area(s): North Downs Kent Landscape Character Area(s): Bicknor: Mid Kent Downs Landscape Character Area; Hollingbourne Vale; Challock: Mid Kent Downs. Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB): Kent Downs Landscape Character: This landscape has a pattern of fields contained by dense belts of woodland, which follow the alignment of the upper slopes of steep-sided dry valleys. Settlement is dispersed and narrow sunken lanes produce a strong character and are bound by hedges. The continual down-wash of soil from the scarp, combined with the sheltered aspect of the resulting fields, produces a belt of very productive agricultural land at the foot of the scarp typified by larger and more regular field pattern. Geology: Chalk, capped with clay-with-flints and gravel head on the ridges. Biodiversity: 1 Important chalk grassland sites on the scarp and on the sides of dip slope valleys. 2 Important woodlands occur both on the chalk soils of the scarp and the deeper clay soils of the dip slope and there are some wood pasture sites. 3 The dip slope woodlands support important bryophyte assemblages and remain important for woodland birds, including hawfinch. This is the only part of Kent known to support Bechstein’s bat, a species closely associated with woodland.The area supports a large population of brown hares and is a stronghold for Roman snail.

BHPA/BMFA SHARED SITES SUPPLEMENT Sites Guide: Introduction Welcome to Dover & Folkestone Hang Gliding Club We are a small friendly club of mainly paraglider pilots but we also have also some hang-glider pilots too. We hold meetings every second month as well as day events such as first aid training, parachute packing and cross country skills. Our meetings are as much social events as they are about the day to day matters of flying, we almost always have a presentation. They are a great way for new memers to meet others in the club. Our sites are mostly at the eastern end of Kent: on the cliffs of the North and South coasts, and on the end of the North Downs. Sea breezes predominate in the summer, and in the winter Dover and Folkestone tend to stay fogbound long after it has cleared inland. Sites exist for all directions except easterly. DFHGC sites are uncrowded and easily accessible with only small carry ups. Some are more difficult to fly safely others. We therefore advise all new members to contact someone rather than to venture out alone. We have Club Coaches for both hang gliders and paragliders willing to help and advise. Please make use of their knowledge, particularly regarding our sites.

  • Appendix C: Biodiversity Opportunity Areas
    Appendix C: Biodiversity Opportunity Areas Appendix C: BOA Maps and Statements relevant to Swale (Kent Biodiversity Partnership 2009) The following maps and statements represent the broad Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOAs) in Swale identified and developed by the Kent Biodiversity Partnership. The boundaries of these BOAs are very similar to the Biodiversity Opportunity Networks identified in this Landscape and Biodiversity Appraisal. However, whilst derived from the same habitat opportunity data, the BOA maps have been simplified by the Kent Biodiversity Partnership to produce more coherent regional-scale areas. Therefore minor boundary differences do occur between the two studies and this is recognised and accepted as a necessary difference between the regional and local scale of the mapping.
