Proud Members of the Ferndown Chamber of Commerce

Hello Ferndown!

Autumn is now truly here, the nights are drawing in and the air is somewhat cooler. Stephen, Hayden and I did in fact get our last dip in the sea just a couple of weeks ago.

We went down to the South Beach at Studland and had a great day out with some friends. We have a rubber dinghy, not quite like the yachts bobbing in the water, but fun nevertheless. Stephen rowed me nearly out to Old Harry Rocks...well almost! It is very shallow over that way and ideal for the children so if you have not been, I highly recommend it. Wet suits are a good idea too! I looked very glamorous in mine… Can I hear you laughing?

This month in The Ferndown & West Parley Directory we have local information from The Ferndown Chamber of Commerce who are working hard in the community to help local business. The Parley Rotary Club is looking for more help, there are Wellness Walks in Ferndown run by Moors Valley which are highly recommended and a special family ticket for those who love Crazy Golf! A great idea for the children or grandchildren—a game everyone can play. Scissors in Ferndown also has a great £10 off for ten lucky readers! This is all inside. If you have a local club you would like us to know about or have an interesting story to tell, then please let me know. I would love to hear from you. Have you lived in Ferndown a long time and want to share your memories—then do give me a call. We can share them with the rest of the community.

Of course there are our very important trades and business people to call. I generally think things are looking up—I deliberately don’t listen to the news—so make sure the house and garden are ready for the colder season. Is the boiler working fine? Are the electrics all good? Does the garden need a tidy, the gutters need cleaning or do you need new washing machine? All the help you will find inside.

The lucky winner of the meal last month was Mrs Allen.

Well done!

Here’s to a good month of October.

Debbie

Talking about wildlife...

It’s Fungi Time!

Fungi are not classified as either plants or animals, but form a kingdom of their own comprising a broad range of organisms, such as brackets, stinkhorns and puffballs, in addition to the more familiar mushrooms and toadstools. Apart from being a delicious and nutritious addition to our diets, fungi are of great ecological importance, supporting many plants and wildlife. They come in a hugely diverse group of shapes, forms and colours, and many have illustrative names; take for instance the parasol, horn of plenty, amethyst deceiver or destroying angel; extremely poisonous as the name implies!

What we normally call ‘the fungus’, or mushrooms, are actually the fruiting body of the microscopic organisms, the finely threaded mycelia, that live in the soil. Fungi have been around for millions of years and exist ever ywhere on the planet. In the UK, thousands of different species have been recorded, many of them edible.

Autumn is a good time to enjoy a fungus foray in the woods to reap the benefits of this wonderful natural resource. Some of the most common ones such as the chanterelles, wax caps and boletes are delicious, as is the wellknown penny bun, found in coniferous and deciduous woods, but as many fungi are notoriously difficult to identify and can cause ill

FUNGI FORAY WITH EXPERT JOHN WRIGHT Saturday 3rd Nov at Kingcombe Meadows or Sunday 4th Nov at Powerstock Common 10am to 4pm, 4pm join John Wright (of River Cottage fame) to discover the amazing range of fungus species of either of the nature reserves. There will be a brief introduction before a guided walk to find and identify fungi. Each day will end with a taster of some of the edible fungi found.

To book your place on one of these days ring 01300 320684, 320684 or visit www.kingcombe.org. www.kingcombe.org Course fee £50.

or even dangerous side effects, take care to learn about them first. A fungus foray with an expert is the way to get started. Some fungi, like the fly agaric, are strikingly easy to spot, but m an y ot her po ison ous fungi loo k deceptively similar to edible ones. It is a good goal to learn to identify a few new species every year and there are regular courses and forays each year to help you, or you might pr efer to sim ply enj oy the ir colour ful contribution to autumn, maybe even capturing it on camera or with paint.

SPARKLE APPEAL GETS FAB SUPPORT Local charity The Sparkle Appeal, which raises mon ey for Poole’s Victoria Education Centre (VEC) for young, disabled people, is set to benefit from a Bournemouth boutique’s unique ‘Dress to Donate’ initiative.

Fab Frocks of Westbourne, which has one of the largest selection of evening and cocktail dresses on the south coast, will be donating to the charity 10% of every full price dress sold to anyone attending the forthcoming ‘Touch of Sparkle’ Ball on Friday 26 October at the Italian Villa at Compton Acres in Poole.

Fab Frocks will also be supporting the event with in-store promotions, an extremely sparkly Sparkle Ball window display plus a web and E-shot campaign.

Tracie Beardsley, director of Fab Frocks said: “ We only launched the Dress to Donate initiative in September and we have already supported the children’s charity Julia’s House through our Dress to Donate scheme. We are delighted to now be supporting the Sparkle Appeal with their first ever ball.”

Diana Newbury, Capital Appeals Manager for The Sparkle Appeal said: “All the children at VEC have to receive regular therapy and in order to truly realise their potential we urgently need to upgrade and renovate the physical facilities for their therapy. The Sparkle Appeal recently completed the fundraising for Phase 1 of our project, to raise £2.8m to build a new hydrotherapy pool.

“Phase 2 will be officially launched at ‘A Touch of Sparkle’ Ball. A new state of the art Therapy Centre (at a cost of £1.2m) will bring together, under one roof,

TFWPD October 2012 page 12

physiotherapists, speech & language therapists and occupational therapists to provide integrated, holistic therapy for the greatest benefit to our pupils.”

She added: “Fab Frocks supported the Sparkle Appeal at a fashion show earlier this year which raised over £1000 and we are delighted to have the support of their ‘Dress to Donate’ scheme.“

Get into golf is a hit at Dorset mansion The Get into golf campaign scored a hit with weekend visitors to a National Trust mansion in Dorset.

Over 500 people took the chance to try the sport when Kingston Lacy House, near Wimborne Minster, played host to the Dorset Golf Partnership and the Get into golf campaign.

Visitors of all ages flocked to the stand on the south lawn to have a go at TriGolf, to hit balls in the blow-up net and to take on a putting challenge. Many of them have expressed an interest in follow-on coaching.

The stand was run by Dee Wood, the Dorset county development officer, who said: “It was a brilliant weekend and, for many of the people who took part, it was their first introduction to golf. A great many of them have expressed interest in getting involved in the game.”

Dee was supported by a host of volunteers including County Golf

TFWPD October 2012 page 18

Partnership chairman Bill Kennedy and lady members of the local Ashley Wood Golf Club. The club’s PGA professional, John Shimmons, and Steve ScottBowen, the PGA Tutor and Disabilities Tutor for the South West, both gave lessons and advice.

Get into golf is a national campaign run by the England Golf Partnership through its network of County Golf partnerships, which work to grow the game.

This event was the latest initiative with the National Trust. Get into golf events have also been hosted in Devon at Knightshayes Court. Golf has also been highlighted to National Trust managers and rangers as an ideal outdoor activity to stage in their grounds.

Ebony, the 4 month old labrador cross, is a typical puppy and a very intelligent little girl. She is lucky enough to have found her ‘forever home’ and with that, Waggy Tails Rescue is proud to announce that it has now re-homed its 3000th animal. The vast majority of those helped have been dogs though there are a few kind volunteers who find homes for rabbits and guinea-pigs too.

Sadly, the need for the charity to exist continues, and the number of dogs we can take in depends on how many foster places we have available. We also need to raise money to fund our work and this is done through street and store collections, special events and our three shops. Visit our website: www.waggytails.org.uk or phone the office on 01202 875000 if you would like to know more about our work and, especially, if you would like to volunteer to make more ‘happy endings’.

WAGGY TAILS RESCUE, is a registered charity based in Ferndown. They rescue and re-home dogs that have been abandoned, neglected or otherwise in need of a good home.

Ratty returns Water voles are now being spotted regularly at Moors Valley Country Park, near Ringwood thanks to the success of a long-term reintroduction programme initiated and overseen by Rangers from East Dorset Countryside Management Service.

The first water vole release in the Park took place last summer following an extensive period of riverbank clearance and monitoring for predatory mink. Their successful survival led to a second release this summer, with 120 water voles joining those already established in the river systems, introducing new bloodlines and a boost to the existing population.

Th e p ro je ct h as in vo lv ed a h u g e commitment in terms of time and effort.

This has come not just from the Rangers, b u t al so fro m th e n i n e ad j ac en t landowners, who have worked together to provide suitable habitats and crucially, monitor the rivers for mink activity.

The idea to reintroduce the water vole to Moors Valley Country Park was first conceived back in 2009. Local people fondly remembered sightings of Kenneth Graham’s iconic Wind in the Willows character in the Crane and Moors river system, and the Rangers were keen to bring ‘Ratty’ back to the Park. But with water vole populations struggling to survive across the country the conditions had to be exactly right.

“The water vole is Britain’s fastest declining mammal,” said Senior Countryside Ranger, Matt Reeks. “And that decline has been caused principally by loss of habitat and predation by North American mink.

Photo: Hattie Miles “For a successful reintroduction we needed not only to ensure they had a suitable immediate habitat but also to monitor a wide area both inside and outside the Park to make sure we were not bringing the water vole to a river system where they would quickly be eaten by mink”.

The team were helped by the UK’s leading water vole conservation specialist and breeder, Derek Gow, and also benefited from the advice and experience of the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, the inventors of a simple but highly effective ‘mink raft’.

“Six thousand mink were released by animal activists from a local fur firm back in 1998 which had a huge impact on the local water vole population. We wanted to make sure our returning water voles would be safe,” said Matt. “The mink rafts have been designed to attract curious mammals, and once ‘on board’ they walk over a clay pad which very neatly records their tracks.”

Eleven rafts were built and positioned throughout the local river system

Find us online at www.ferndowndirectory.co.uk enabling the Rangers to collect accurate evidence about the local mammal population. After a year of regular monitoring they knew the area was mink free, and the reintroduction could go ahead.

The mink rafts have also played an important role in confirming the survival of the first released population of water voles, regularly revealing the water voles’ distinctive star-shaped four-toed front foot. Otter tracks were also spotted regularly and there is good evidence that they will catch and kill mink. Otters will also eat the voles, but as they cannot enter the water vole burrows the two species can coexist and their presence is confirmation of the quality of both the water in the river system and riverbank habitat.

Whilst the mink rafts will continue to be mon itored, Park visitors are now reporting their own water vole sightings to the Visitor Centre at Moors Valley, and the Rangers have also managed to take

some photographs on both the river banks and in the water. Recent surveys have found some well-established colonies in some of the quieter areas of the Park.

“We really couldn’t be happier,” said Clare Gronow, Countryside Manager at Moors Valley. “As the third most visited country park in England we try to strike a careful balance between managing our visitors and ensuring our wildlife thrives.

Of course it’s early days, but it’s wonderful to know that the water vole is now establishing itself again here at Moors Valley and that the work of so many people has been successful. As guardians of the Park we couldn’t be more pleased that we have been able to play a part in maintaining that rich biodiversity”.

For more information on the water vole programme and the full range of naturebased activities available at the Park contact the Rangers on 01425 470721 or visit www.moors-valley.co.uk.
