Purbeck Heaths NNR – Boundaries

The Purbeck Heaths NNR created several years ago covers or overlaps with four existing references with boundaries currently unclear. We’ve now produced a map to show how the new reserve interacts with existing boundaries.

One of the main areas of confusion surrounds GFF -0098 Arne NNR which sits outside of the Purbeck NNR, but also includes Arne RSPB which straddles both areas. For the sake of clarity, we have allocated all of the Arne RSPB area to GFF-0098 regardless of which NNR it sits in. We have also given Brownsea Island, which was not in a reference prior to the creation of the Purbeck Heaths NNR it’s own GFF reference

As a result the following reference has been added to the Directory

  • GFF-0520 Purbeck Heaths NNR (Brownsea Island)

For clarity the following references have also been renamed

  • GFF-0098 Purbeck Heaths NNR/Dorset Heathlands SPA – Arne Reedbeds NNR/RSPB
  • GFF -0105 Purbeck Heaths NNR / Dorset Heathlands SPA (Studland & Godlingston)
  • GFF-0234 Purbeck Heaths NNR / Dorset Heathlands SPA – (Stoborough Heath + RSPB)
  • GFF-0235 Purbeck Heaths NNR / Dorset Heathlands SPA (Hartland Moor )

 

 

Directory Changes – Mendip NNR

The following references have been added to the Directory, reflecting the spread of sites that make up the new Mendip NNR

 

  • GFF-0515 Mendip NNR – Cheddar
  • GFF-0516 Mendip NNR – Burrington
  • GFF-0517 Mendip NNR – Axbridge
  • GFF-0518 Mendip NNR – Bleadon Hill
  • GFF-0519 Mendip NNR – Weston
Two existing references included in the new NNR have been renamed to:

 

  • GFF-0183 Mendip NNR – Ebbor Gorge
  • GFF-0188 Mendip NNR – Rodney Stoke
The  NNR brings together over 30 managed areas, whilst some are adjacent and create continous areas, others are well spread across an area West from Ebbor Gorge to the coast as Weston- super- Mare. A map is attached with more detail. Magic Maps is updated with this NNR.
