- Nature
- Species
- Dartford warbler
- Nightjar
- Woodlark
- Any-Lion
- Dartford warbler
- Serene
- Wild
- Alive with colour
- Heather
- coconut-scented yellow gorse
- Parking restrictions may operate at times of extreme fire risk
- Not an overly high level of litter
- 12 pieces of litter in a 20m radius
- 12 pieces of litter in a 20m radius
- 88 hectares of land
- Natural trust site
- Part of the area is private land for science purposes
- Mount pleasant farm is in the area
- Special protected areas
- Outstanding level of natural beauty
- When purchased it was under pressure of development
- Lost to tourism
- Declined since the 18th century
- 1 mile shingle beach with a vegetated cliff
- Wet woodland
- Acid grassland
- Coastal lowland heath - only site in East Anglia
- 3m wide ditch which was dug out reservoir in case of fire
- There is aquatic vegetation
- 2008 docwra's ditch is undertaking management which maintains the water system
- Slubbing
- Anaerobic soil
- Common heather makes perfect nests for the Dartford warbler
- The Dunwich heath found the 1st pair of Dartford warblers after 80 years of no sight of them in 1986
- The Dartford warbler does not migrate in the winter
- here are 31 pairs of stonechat here
- There are 31 pairs of the linnet here
- Bracken encroachment is a good habitat for reptiles
- Mini deserts
- They have volunteers that go out nearly ever night and do moth trapping and analyse to log species that occur
- The cliff has layers of sand and flint which are both soft
- The erosion happens in a dynamic process
- Dunwich heath is one of the fasted eroding coastlines in Europe
- Dramatic change
- Certain habitats depend on erosion
- In around 50 years roads and access to the site may crumble away
- North fields had re-seeding and sulphuring in 2005
- Southern fields have minimum management - wiping ragwort
- Holds 30 different insects
- Planting new hedges in the farm
- On-going battle against litter
- Hard getting the balance of conservation and recreation
- Loads of second homes in the area
- Seasonal tourism
- High risk of fire
- Difficult to keep all the different groups happy - e.g. restrictions on where dogs can come off their leads to prevent disturbance of nature
- Photographs may damage vegetation
- Biological surveys monitor different threatening factors - development, pollution as it changes pH of soil, climate change.
- Sound/Sight is done by the generic bird survey where volunteers map to show where the different birds are and where they nest
- Random species sampling test - square thrown and then you write down all the species of both animals and plants that are in the selected area
- Send online forms to butterfly organisation
- Need to ensure success of all species
- Countryside stewardship funding
- Government pays funding if you are succeeding in only management
- Acid grassland and scrub management - if it is not managed it would convert back in to woodland
- Retain occasional large open ground trees
- Retaining patches of scab
- Manage other habitats - e.g. Pine and grassland
- Diversify heather age structure
