  • Biodiversity at Parish Level
    Wiltshire Botany 12, 2011, pages 26-35 BIODIVERSITY AT PARISH What is biodiversity? LEVEL Biodiversity is a term for the variety of wildlife which we ought to be maintaining and enhancing. It The example of Winsley refers to the existence of a large number of species, and variations within species, of living things (eg Pyramidal Orchid, the Marbled White butterfly), of John Presland the different communities of which they form a part (eg species-rich limestone grassland), and of the environments which these species and communities require (eg limestone grassland which has not been agriculturally improved by fertilisers, herbicides, etc). It is perhaps a fuller definition of “nature”, but with value judgements implied. The term “biodiversity” appears to have become more prominent than the formerly popular term “nature conservation”. Perhaps this is because “nature conservation” had become too associated in the public mind with maintaining rare species rather than a wide variety of species and a variety of entire communities. Biodiversity encompasses both. Furth- er, nature conservation may have implied that we only keep what we have, whereas biodiversity Cephalanthera damasonium (White Helleborine): thinking includes enhancement of existing commun- Winsley’s only UK Biodiversity Action Plan ities and creation of new ones to increase the number Priority Species and variety of organisms and link them up into networks through which species can more easily move and establish themselves more widely. However, “biodiversity” is not an activity - it needs a word added to say what we need to do. Perhaps we should speak of “biodiversity promotion”, since more than conservation is required.

This is a circular walk “ East of Bath, the Kennet & Avon Canal passes through the Limpley Stoke valley. With its steep wooded slopes and breathtaking vistas, this is without a shadow of doubt the most magnificent natural landscape along the whole length of the canal. Away from the canal towpath, the walk begins by climbing the valley's hillsides to explore a slice of the West Wiltshire countryside. As well as far ranging views and the village of Winsley, with picturesque St Nicholas' church, the walk passes through Conkwell Wood. “ “ A map of the Dundas Walk Sponsored by the Kennet & Avon Trade Association— working to provide facilities for users of the K&A Canal Page 1 dundas Circular Walk Take a stroll through Dundas Follow the signposted footpath out of the parking area, away from the canal, up a flight of steps and into a hillside pasture. Climb to the top right-hand corner of this field, where you reach a track leading from Turleigh down to the canal. The views from this point across the Avon valley towards Westwood on the opposite hilltop are worth pausing to enjoy. Cross this track, pass through the kissing gate opposite and continue along an enclosed footpath which climbs the hillside towards Winsley. At the top of the hill, the path joins a quiet lane which is followed through to the B3108 in the centre of Winsley, the lane bearing left by the village bowling club before joining the main road.
