The Water Vole and Mink Survey of Britain 1996-1998 (PDF) A national survey of the water vole over 1989-90 showed a marked decline throughout the 20th century, with acceleration in the 1980s due to the feral American mink. A second national survey was mounted during 1996-98 to check changes in both species. This report provides a analysis of this repeat survey, which shows clearly that there has been a very large 88% reduction in water vole numbers in only 7 years. They also show a 65% decline in the mink population over most of Britain due to the recovering otter population. A second major factor in the decline of water vole numbers is shown to be intensive sheep grazing. 2,500 years of farming has reduced the water vole to 0.01% of its pre-Iron Age numbers. NB This report is presented in Adobe PDF format on CD. Cost : £ 11.5

Ancient Woodland: Its History, Vegetation and Uses in England A rich and fascinating account of ancient woodland, giving detailed accounts of the history and ecology of woods from the prehistoric wildwood to contemporary management. Woodlands in Britain are both natural ecosystems, having a life of their own, and the products of human use and management over the centuries. The main theme of this monumental work is the self-renewal typical of English woodland history: the regeneration of the trees year after year since before 1250. Extant woodlands, often of great age, have an unbroken vegetational history if they have been traditionally managed, and contain individual coppice stools perhaps 700 years old. In recent years, interest in ancient trees has revived, and it is now realised that they are of scientific and environmental importance. Much of the wildlife associated with woodland depends on ancient trees. The species composition of woodland has changed over the centuries, but the variety of woodland types still relates to the original mosaic of the prehistoric wildwood. The author considers why ancient woods should be of so many kinds - oakwoods, limewoods, birch woods and so on - and what is the separate history of each type. Despite the vast amount of thorough, scholarly research included in this book, it remains easily readable by the non-specialist with plenty of interesting colour photographs, maps and tables. Essential reference for scientists working on any aspect of ancient woodland, and fascinating reading for anyone with a passion for trees and woods. Cost : £ 60
