    25 years of working together in Wiltshire Image (front cover): Family fun day Mathew Roberts Images (clockwise): Foreword by Gary Mantle Pond dipping at Smallbrook Meadows Ryan Tabor Starlings over Rivermead The Hills Group has played an active part in Wiltshire life for more than 100 years. Phil Selby It has demonstrated its commitment to the communities it serves and it is the company’s Winter robin particular dedication to Wiltshire’s wildlife that we celebrate here. David Kjaer Common blue male butterfly Darin Smith The Hills Group has been an inspiration to all those working to protect and restore Wiltshire’s natural environment for its local communities. Its funding has made it possible to purchase special wildlife sites, facilitate public enjoyment and appreciation of the natural environment and increase the knowledge and understanding of the natural world among children. Wiltshire Wildlife Trust is just one of the many organisations to have benefited from The Hills Group’s support through the Landfill Communities Fund and through the generosity of the company itself to help us achieve our vision of a sustainable future for wildlife and people. We are very lucky to have worked in partnership with The Hills Group for more than 25 years. This collaboration has recently reached a major milestone with the total amount given by the company to the Trust reaching £6.9million. This tremendous landmark in the Trust’s history is a clear sign of The Hills Group’s generosity and the seriousness of its respect for Wiltshire, its natural environment and people. At a time when funding is difficult to secure and often only short term, the sustained support and continuity of funding from The Hills Group has given the Trust the confidence to tackle difficult challenges.

  • Coronation Meadows Project at His Home in Highgrove
    WORK continues at Tadpole Farm. To create a new Coronation Meadow for Swindon Borough “The sixtieth anniversary of The Queen’s Coronation; what better excuse for a concerted effort to begin the creation of at least one meadow in each county?” His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales In June 2013, HRH The Prince of Wales launched the Coronation Meadows project at his home in Highgrove. His vision was to see a flagship ancient wildflower meadow identified in every county to mark the anniversary of The Queen’s Coronation. Over the last 3 years, this remarkable project has done just that and there are now 88 Coronation Meadows across the UK. These jewels in the crown are places where people can enjoy a riot of colour and an abundance of wildlife in a setting that has remained largely unchanged since the Coronation. But this incredible conservation effort doesn’t stop here. In order to realise Prince Charles’ vision to create new wildflower meadows, seed is now being collected from these special Coronation Meadows and used to create meadows across the UK, leaving a legacy for the next 60 years. So far, 66 new meadows (totalling 575 acres) have been created since the project began. The new Swindon Borough meadow being created now is an exciting step towards the goal of 90 meadows to be created by the end of 2016. What is a Coronation Meadow? Once the colourful mantle of our green and pleasant land, over 97% of wildflower meadows have been lost in the last 75 years. Coronation Meadows are rare, surviving fragments of these flower-rich grasslands.

Importantly, it always welcome contributions from also reminds the wider Bat Group community mammologists throughout Wiltshire! that we exist, and have a real role to play locally in Bat Conservation in the South West. Handover from the previous Chair We haven’t changed much about the group itself, we are still pretty informal, we don’t have The last year and a half has been pretty eventful an elected committee, and we still have our two for the WBG. 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. I’ve kept two very simple questions in Hibernation surveys, Bath & Bradford-on-Avon SAC, February 2015 mind over the last eighteen months, © Will Ponting they were ‘what is the bat group for?’ and, ‘how can the WBG support meetings a year in May and November where individuals and groups studying bats within the everyone is welcome to attend and contribute.

    Living landscapes A call to restore the UK’s battered ecosystems, for wildlife and people LIVING LANDSCAPES A CALL TO RESTORE THE UK’S BATTERED ECOSYSTEMS FOR WILDLIFE AND PEOPLE 2 To adapt to climate change, the UK’s wildlife will need to move along ‘climate corridors’ up and down the country, or to shadier slopes or cooler valleys. Wildlife has done it all before, after the last ice age, but this time the change is faster and there are unexpected obstacles: cities, motorways and expanses of hostile countryside. If we don’t give our wildlife enough room to manoeuvre, a collapse in biodiversity is inevitable. For decades we have been slowing the decline in biodiversity by protecting small oases of wildlife as an emergency measure. Now, in the face of climate change, it is essential that we link these oases and restore our ecosystems and natural processes at a speed and on a scale that we would once have felt was impossible. Different parts of the UK will need to take different approaches, depending not only upon natural habitats but upon local social and economic needs. And change on this scale needs deep-rooted support across many constituencies. Driven by local people and aspirations, The Wildlife Trusts play a leading role not just in developing the vision but in mustering the support that can allow communities to drive their own change. We do this by working closely with community groups, businesses, land managers and local authorities on landscape-scale projects around the UK. We look to the Government to show leadership also.

  • 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.

  • Inclusive Volunteering Project’ – Managed Since 2006
    Tees Valley Wildlife Trust Inclusive Volunteering An evaluation of the Impacts of Nature-Based Intervention on Mental Health January 2012 – Executive Summary (Part One) 1 | P a g e This project and evaluation was made possible by the Dame Mary Smieton Strategic Development Fund and Northern Rock Foundation Introduction This document is an executive summary of a major report on the benefits of conservation volunteering for mental health and well-being, published by Tees Valley Wildlife Trust. This summary provides an overview of research conducted in 2012 evaluating our Ecotherapy programme - ‘The Inclusive Volunteering Project’ – managed since 2006. The evaluation involved a review of similar work being done by Wildlife Trusts across the UK, by other organisations across the North East of England and a discussion of the literature available on the link between nature, well-being and volunteering. Primary research involved gathering data from our volunteers, their carers and health care professionals, developing a unique scale to measure the impacts of our project. Research Background There is already a wealth of evidence to suggest volunteering in any form improves people’s social lives, their skills, provides them with a sense of purpose and enhances their self-esteem, and we have long been aware that our work does benefit people in this way. There is also a growing field of research into the positive effects of green spaces on attention, stress and state of mind. The Tees Valley Wildlife Trust’s project therefore offers an exceptionally valuable experience, combining these to achieve unique impacts for people who may feel disadvantaged, vulnerable and excluded by society.
