Dear Wareham, Wool & Bere Regis, Easter is coming up and hopefully some good weather! Do you have anything planned for the children? Maybe an Easter Egg Hunt or a family weekend away? Hayden, our son had his first over night cubs “Expedition” last week. A two hour hike in the dark, then a night in a tent with 3 friends. He arrived back exhausted after 3 hours sleep he told me. Funnily enough, where I thought he maybe cold out in the open he told me he was too hot, which is why he couldn’t sleep! I couldn’t believe it, that really surprised me. It turned out they were “camping” indoors!!

Now, do you need something doing in the house, the garden, or do you want a good evening out? Take a look at all we have to offer you inside The Wareham District Directory.

There maybe just what you are looking for. The local advertisers would really appreciate your calls, as always. Any of them will give you advice and help, so please use their services and don’t forget to mention the little booklet when talking to them.

We also have some local data for you as well as other interesting articles to read. If you have a local club or society and want some free promotion please give me a call. If you have a business and wish to advertise, we offer a free editorial with a three month’s package. This is a great way to let the local people know more about what you can do to help them. Do give me a call on this.

Stephen and I hope you have a great month of March and Wish you a Very Happy Easter, Best Wishes,

Debbie & Stephen Corney

Coronation Anniversary - Big Lunch Party The Town Council has formed a Coronation Working Party to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty the Queen’s Coronation. Plans are being made for a repeat of the highly successful Big Lunch Party which celebrated the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in June 2012 at Howards Lane car park, transformed into a giant village green for the day. This year’s event will include musical entertainment, a children's fancy dress competition, musical chairs and folk dancing, with free teas/coffees/cakes courtesy of Sainsbury’s, Wareham. Watch this space for further details in future editions.

Focus on Wareham in Bloom – We’re Back!

Wareham in Bloom – Baskets on the Quay The Wareham in Bloom Committee met on 13th February and considered a number of items on the agenda: • After a year out of regional/national Britain in Bloom competitions, the committee is pleased to announce that it is back in the running this year. A decision was made to join ‘South West in Bloom’ as being more appropriate to a Dorset town. Councillor Eric Osmond MBE (Chairman) and the Town Clerk have already attended a very useful seminar and workshop session at Trowbridge to kick us off.

• Plans are being made for two fundraising events at the Corn Exchange; please come along and support your local Wareham in Bloom initiative: • Wareham in Bloom /Camera Club event - Saturday 2nd March 2013

• Table Top sale including plants – Saturday 4th May 2013.

• Fresh Acres Ltd were contracted to supply floral displays in the town centre for the forthcoming season at a cost of £3432.00 - following their successful ‘trial’ last year.

Many thanks to all our In Bloom sponsors who have made this possible.

• The Chairman reported that he was very grateful to Dave Watkins of local company Anvil Landscapes Ltd who had offered to help maintain the Saxon roundabout throughout the summer season free of charge. An agreement had been made, the initial maintenance had already been done and the roundabout features were looking in tip top condition. Thank you, Mr Watkins and your hard working team!

• The Chairman stated that he would soon be asking local businesses and shops for donations for the forthcoming year - so watch out, Eric’s about!

• Suggestions from members were requested for possible new sponsors, organisations or local groups who could perhaps contribute to Wareham in Bloom. If you can help in any way, please let us know – phone Debbie Cousins on 01929 55306.

• Planting at Hauses Field Sensory Garden - herb seeds had been ordered from the RHS, two planters would be emptied and others would be repaired, oiled, painted and reinforced, before soil was introduced.

• Bulbs planting - a large number of bulbs for a reasonable price have been obtained from a local nursery and have already been planted around the town.

• St Martin’s Church earth walls were reported as still being a problem area and not reflecting its high profile as the northern entrance to the town. Work to tidy it up, with possible sponsorship, was indicated as a worthwhile project. Volunteers, please!

Wareham Minster?

At the Town Council meeting on 15th January, the Mayor informed Council of the planned submission of a bid by Lady St Mary Church to be reinstated as a Minster and that he had pledged his personal support. A straw poll indicated that, in principle, the Town Council would be supportive of such a bid and it was decided that that the result would be ratified at the next meeting of the Town Council on 5th March.

Wareham Town Council Precept At the same meeting, Council received and passed its recommended annual budget and its proposed Precept (share of Council Tax) to be submitted to Purbeck District Council.

A very modest increase of £1.79 per year for a Band D tax base (or 3p per week) was agreed, with a Precept of £114,773.00, in order that the Council can carry out planned projects and deliver its services to the electorate of Wareham.

Wareham Town Council contact: 01929 553006. Bookings taken for Corn Exchange, use of the Council Chamber for weddings/civil partnerships plus sports pitches at the Recreation Ground, Worgret Road. Website: www.wareham-tc.gov.uk

Jurassic Jaunt

Jurassic Jaunt: Church Knowle Circular Area: Distance: Difficulty: Access Restrictions?

Corfe Castle 1½ miles Easy No

A very pleasant short walk which takes you up onto the Ridgeway, giving excellent views in all directions.

There is a family play area and a classic Purbeck country pub at the end!

How to get there: Grid Reference 936917; Coming from Wareham, just before Corfe Castle, turn right for Kimmeridge and Chur ch Knowle.

Proceed into Church Knowle and park in the New Inn Cart car park on the left (car park is just after the pub).

Information:Toilets are available at the pub.

Walk details:As you leave the car park, turn right and proceed using the right-hand pavement through the picturesque village for about ¼ mile. Do not turn right at the large finger sign for Swyre Head but continue to just past the ‘S’ bend.

Just after the bend, and just after St Peter’s church, take the track to the left, signposted Public Bridleway.

After 100 metres, you will meet 4 gates.

Take the 2nd gate from the left which takes you directly behind the wooden building on your right. Follow the path for 150 metres up to the base of the Ridgeway.

Here, you meet the path which runs along the base of the Ridgeway with Corfe Castle signposted to your right. However, at this gate turn left, signposted ‘Cocknowle ½ mile’, but for 10 metres only then bear right up the small path.

Follow this for 70 metres to the next stile (care as you cross this stile as the terrain

WDD March 2013 page 14

slopes away from you on the far side). Turn right and follow the path for about 500 metres up onto the Ridgeway.

As you approach the Ridge, bear left toward the Trig point (150 metres) where you will get panoramic 360 degree views across to Poole harbour, along to Tyneham Cap on the coastal path and down the valley towards Swanage.

Continue past the Trig Point for 1/3 mile down to the road. Here, turn sharp left and proceed with care down the road for approx 250 metres on the right, taking care with the blind bend just past the house on the right and thatched cottages on your left.

Just after that bend and just after the gate to Cocknowle cottage, turn left onto the track, signposted ‘Church Knowle ½ mile’. Go over the stile after 20 metres and head straight ahead to the gate in the corner of the field (300 metres). After this gate, bear slightly right toward the playing field where there is a stile in the corner of the field which faces you (150 metres).

Go over this stile and head for the gate 100 metres ahead of you with the play area to your right and football pitch on your left. Go through the small gate, turn left and the car park is 40 metres on your right. info@jurassicjaunts.co.uk 07790 474 478

Talking about Wildlife

Talking about wildlife...

Dorset’s Chalk Streams Most commonly found in the South of England, chalk streams are characterised by their crystal-clear waters. These wildlife-rich rivers have porous beds which act as aquifers, purifiers and reservoirs. Rainwater filters through the soft, white rock and emerges lower down the slope, cool and clean.

Because rainwater is naturally acidic, it also absorbs the chalk’s rich minerals. These are then transported to the river.

As Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows suggests, these rivers enable wildlife to thrive; birds, fish and mammals (such as the otter and vole) live off the rich nutrients.

Salmon and trout frequent the sparkling, ‘gin clear’ waters and tall blades of grass line the banks while water crowfoot flowers in the stream. In the meadows nearby, flag iris and meadowsweet grow in clusters, creating a paradise for animals, fishermen and walkers alike.

Unfortunately, these unique ecosystems are under threat. Due to an increase in demand, water companies extract too much water. The drought in early 2012 left many of these beautiful rivers dry. They are also threatened by invasive alien plants and have suffered from alterations by man over the years, reducing the suitability for spawning fish, burrowing water voles and the many important invertebrates that form the basis of the river’s rich wildlife.

With funding from Wessex Water and Dorset Area of Outstanding Beauty, Dorset Wildlife Trust have organised a restoration project: the Do rse t Wild R iv ers P ro jec t. T he partnership works with members of the local community, fishing groups and The Wild Trout Trust to repair the damage and restore the wildlife. The River Allen, which meanders for thirteen miles through the Dorset countryside, is one of the local chalk streams to benefit. Chalk streams are the richest river habitats for wildlife and the River Allen holds

WDD March 2013 page 22

the strongest population in Dorset of rare wildlife such as the native white-clawed crayfish. We now have a chance to do something to protect this important and vulnerable habitat and its wildlife before it is too late.

It is essential that we protect these rare and fragile habitats. We can all make a difference if we think carefully about the water we use; if we use water carefully, we can protect these rivers and conserve the wildlife which depend on them. To find out more, visit dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/dorsetwildrivers.

The River Allen by A. Broom Coming up: Friday May 3rd 7.30pm Hugh Miles – Films and Talk at the Allendale Centre, Wimborne.

Award winning cinematographer and wildlife enthusiast Hugh Miles presents his film about the River Allen ‘Liquid Gold’ as well as his award winning film ‘Puma- Lion of the Andes’, in aid of Dorset’s Wild Rivers.

The Nature of Dorset...

The Nature of Dorset website [www.natureofdorset.co.uk] has been my consuming passion for four years. It is my personal guide to the places to go to and the wildlife you can see in Dorset. It is “for the people of Dorset interested in wildlife and for people from elsewhere with an interest in the county’s wildlife.”

The site features nearly 1,500 species of animals and plants, 180 nature reserves or areas with a high level of wildlife interest and over 20,000 individual records linking species and sites together to give species lists for sites and distribution maps for species. I have put hundreds of unpaid hours in to it and I pay for its hosting on the Internet but charge nothing for its use and keep it free of adverts; “Why?” you might ask.

Silver Studded Blue Butterfly: a species unique to heathland and seen locally

WDD March 2013 page 24

I lived most of my life in Hampshire but my wife and I have long had a love for Purbeck and whenever we could we would drive down to Arne, Durlston and other favourite places. “One day, when I retire, we will move down there” I would say. Well, in the summer of 2006, circumstances were such that “move down” we did, to Wareham.

Natural history had been my main leisure time interest for over 30 years and so my first task was to find out where we could go and what we could see in our newly adopted county. I spent many h our s t ra wli ng t he i nte rne t gathering up information from a whole range of web sites.

Armed with a hit list of places and species off we went, camera at the ready and notebook in hand. I have been a compulsive collector of data all my life so I quickly acquired reams of notes! I needed something to organise my records and so invested in a computerised wildlife recording system.

By 2 0 0 9 I h a d a l ib r a r y o f photographs of animals, plants and places which no one ever saw and I had a few thousand sighting

A quiet corner of Norden Heath where you can find the Silver Studded Blue in mid-summer

records locked away on my computer. Then I happened upon Drupal, a means of building on-line databases and web sites, and ‘bingo’ – the idea of the Nature of Dorset was born!

So far the project has taken me to over 100 places in Dorset, many of which I would probably have never known about; most are stunningly beautiful and incredibly interesting. My personal favourites that I might have otherwise have missed include Alners Gorse, Hilfield Hill and Sovel Down. I still have over 80 identified sites to visit and I am finding more and more to add to that list. Many of the sites I have visited I want to return to, the draw of Powerstock Common, Kingcombe Meadows and Holt Heath is compelling.

The project has also opened my

WDD March 2013 page 25

eyes to species I had never bothered with before; wasps, flies, beetles, spiders, grasses, ferns, mosses, lichens, fungi, all have broadened and extended my kn o wl e d ge an d a r ou se d m y interest. The digital camera and macro lens have revealed beauty I had never before seen in so many creatures and plants, all because I needed a photograph for the Nature of Dorset.

The site is not a science based project; it fills a gap and provides the visitor to Dorset or the person with a newly emerging interest in nature with a starting point and a guide. The site now gets over 750 visits a month, a figure that is continually rising, from all over the world!

I hope you find time to take a look and I hope you find something to interest you – a new place to go or something new to see this summer perhaps. If you have any comments or suggestions then you will find a contact link on the main menu. You will also find a link to my Facebook page so if you use Facebook why not take a look and join in?
