England: landscape, To the south, the Brickhills form part of the Bedfordshire Greensand Ridge while wildlife and natural higher ground on the northern edge of the Borough falls within the Yardley - features.

Apart from some Nature’s Natural woodland remaining as green islands, the wetland habitats provided by the River Area Profiles Ouse and its tributaries and floodplains, the wildlife habitats have become degraded as a result of intensive farming. Hence the importance of protecting and enhancing what remains, including by wildlife friendly management of farms. 6.3 During the development of the City, new habitats have been created and enhanced, such as Linear Parks and grid road corridors. Some of the best habitats have been protected but others have been lost. New habitats such as the balancing lakes have greatly enhanced the variety of birdlife and possibly other wildlife but further help from positive planning measures is still required to save and enhance what remains, National, Regional and Local Objectives 6.4 A key tool is the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) 1994.

A desk study has drawn on information derived from OS map sheets, historical and biological data sources, and from professionals with local knowledge, to identify wood-pasture and parkland habitats of importance, or potential importance, for veteran trees. The aim of the study was to provide baseline information that can be used to develop a prioritised programme of site survey and assessment, to identify the extent of the veteran tree interest of the three counties, in terms of biological interests, and to promote their conservation. The results demonstrate the current poor knowledge of the veteran tree resource in the three counties. Out of a total of 423 sites identified with actual or potential interest for veteran trees, 155 (37%) could only be identified as having possible interest, and a further 26 (6%) as of probable interest.

    Lowland Meadows Habitat Action Plan

    Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Biodiversity Action Plan Lowland Meadows Habitat Action Plan Lowland Meadows Key associated species Adder’s- tongue Fern Marsh Fritillary Barn Owl Meadow Pipit Brown Hare Meadow Saxifrage Cowslip Moss Weissia squarrosa Curlew Narrow-leaved Water-dropwort Forester Moth Redshank Fritillary Short-eared Owl Green-winged Orchid Skylark Lapwing Snipe The vast majority of grassland currently present on farms in the UK is species- poor grassland which has been ‘improved’ through the application of fertiliser and/or ploughed and reseeded. Unimproved neutral grassland supporting a species-rich sward is now rare and subject to further threat as pressure increases to maintain or increase profitability. Lowland meadows are a priority habitat within the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. This plan also covers another UK Priority Habitat – Coastal & Floodplain Grazing Marshes. 1 Current status in the UK Biological status 1.1 There are currently less than 10,000 ha of unimproved neutral grassland remaining in England and less than 2,000 ha in Wales. These grasslands are managed mainly as traditional hay meadows or pastures. They contain a high proportion of broad-leaved herbaceous species such as Greater Burnet and Common Knapweed. As the habitat has been lost so these species have become rarer. 1.2 Semi-natural lowland grassland decreased in England and Wales by an estimated 97% between 1930 and 1984. Most neutral meadows now remain in a landscape of hedges and small woods, or in the distinctive upland areas characterised by the stone walls and moorland of northern England. 2 Current status in Buckinghamshire Cover and distribution 2.1 Unimproved, species-rich neutral grasslands are rare and threatened.

    Forward to 2020 Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Biodiversity Action Plan Forward to 2020: Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Biodiversity Action Plan Acknowledgements This plan has been a full year in the making. Whilst it has taken longer than expected to produce, as the momentum for this endeavour grew, it brought together a wider cross-section of the local conservation community. During our sessions, we have enjoyed some robust debates and faced difficult choices about the direction of travel and the targets we set ourselves. We have always sought to embrace the wider agenda of the Natural Environmental Partnership (NEP) whilst also being clear about our focus on the state of biodiversity in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes. Many people are owed thanks for their contribution towards this plan. Firstly, it must be recognised that this is a re-draft of an earlier plan, so those involved in the production of the previous version should be acknowledged. Thanks go to members of the BAP Task and Finish group (listed below) who have collectively spent many hours compiling the content of this plan.

BAP Priority Habitat Ponds are defined as permanent and seasonal standing water bodies up to 2ha in extent which meet one or more of the following criteria. • Habitats of high conservation importance. Ponds that meet criteria under Annex 1 of the Habitats Directive. • Species of high conservation importance. Ponds supporting Red Data Book species, BAP species, species fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act Schedule 5 and 8, Habitats Directive Annex II species, a Nationally Scarce wetland plant species, or three Nationally Scarce aquatic invertebrate species. • Exceptional assemblages of key biotic groups: Ponds supporting exceptional populations or numbers of key species. Based on (i) criteria specified in guidelines for the selection of biological SSSIs (currently amphibians and dragonflies only), and (ii) exceptionally rich sites for plants or invertebrates (i.e. supporting ≥30 wetland plant species or ≥50 aquatic macroinvertebrate species). • Ponds of high ecological quality: Ponds classified in the top PSYM category (“high”) for ecological quality (i.e. having a PSYM score ≥75%). [PSYM (the Predictive SYstem for Multimetrics) is a method for assessing the biological quality of still waters in England and Wales.
