It's Not Too Late to Book onto the Joint SFP / Solway Coast AONB Conference

Friday 25 November, Smiths Hotel at Gretna Green

With only three weeks to go it's not too late to book onto the FREE Solway Firth Partnership / Solway Coast AONB joint conference.  But don't leave it too late as places are limited and booking is essential!

This year's conference is jam packed with great speakers and fascinating workshops for you to get really involved in.

Once booked on, you will be able to choose to attend workshops focusing on the potential of renewable energy from the Solway; the challenge of marine planning through a table-top strategy game; the power of Citizen Science and how you too can help the future of our seas; or a look at how local places names and oral memories help us understand the Solway landscape.  And of course much more on the day…..

The conference is free and includes lunch but places are limited so booking is essential.  Find more information here or book your place by emailing info@solwayfirthpartnership.co.uk or call 01387 702161 / 702362 with name / contact details by 15 November.

Formal Consultation on the Potential Solway Firth Special Protection Area 

A joint formal consultation is being undertaken by Natural England (NE) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) regarding the Solway Firth potential Special Protection Area (pSPA). The pSPA is a cross-border site and so NE have been working in close collaboration with SNH throughout. It was also jointly agreed that as the site lies mainly within Scottish waters, SNH will act as the lead Statutory Nature Conservation Body for the proposals and this consultation.

The pSPA consultation runs from 25 October 2016 to midnight on 17 January 2017 and seeks the views of all interested parties on the scientific case for the classification of the pSPA.

Solway Coastwise Project 
Caves, Graves on a Haunted Coast

Do you know any spooky stories set on the Dumfries and Galloway Coast?  The combination of rugged shorelines and shifting sands mean there must be many tales told about smugglers, shipwrecks or the occasional mysterious body washed up on the strandline.

Bogle Hole, Deadman's Bay and Boney Cave are all place names that are enough to strike fear into the heart of anyone with a vivid imagination. If you know of any salty tales linked to places along the coast, the Solway Coastwise Project would like to hear from you.

Get in touch by emailing - solwaycoastwise@solwaycoastwise.co.uk or for more information about the project click here
