CaBA citizen science and volunteer monitoring resource pack low resCaBASupport
Environmental monitoring by the voluntary sector is fundamental to the success of the Catchment-Based Approach (CaBA), helping to fill important knowledge gaps and engaging all sectors of society in identifying water management issues, and delivering solutions to protect and enhance the freshwater environment
Many catchment partnerships are developing monitoring programmes, which involve volunteers, members of the public and a wide range of community groups in collecting, reporting and analysing monitoring data. This resource pack seeks to share the experience gained by many of the partnerships by signposting useful guidance, tools, equipment and case studies. The pack also includes details of more specialist equipment and techniques for use by experts, as the most successful monitoring programmes typically combine crowd-sourced data covering large spatial areas with localised hi-spec monitoring and modelling.
The resource pack was first published in 2015 and has now been updated for 2016 with additional equipment and case studies. It is also hosted on the CaBA website where it will be updated regularly: www.catchmentbasedapproach.org/volunteer-monitoring.

Understanding citizen science and environmental monitoringGreenapps&web
Citizen science can broadly be defined as the involvement of volunteers in science. Over the past decade there has been a rapid increase in the number of citizen science initiatives. The breadth of environmental-based citizen science is immense. Citizen scientists have surveyed for and monitored a broad range of taxa, and also contributed data on weather and habitats reflecting an increase in engagement with a diverse range of observational science. Citizen science has taken many varied approaches from citizen-led (co-created) projects with local community groups to, more commonly, scientist-led mass participation initiatives that are open to all sectors of society. Citizen science provides an indispensable means of combining environmental research with environmental education and wildlife recording. Here we provide a synthesis of extant citizen science projects using a novel cross-cutting approach to objectively assess understanding of citizen science and environmental monitoring including:
1. Brief overview of knowledge on the motivations of volunteers.
2. Semi-systematic review of environmental citizen science projects in order to understand the variety of extant citizen science projects.
3. Collation of detailed case studies on a selection of projects to complement the semi-systematic review.
4. Structured interviews with users of citizen science and environmental monitoring data focussing on policy, in order to more fully understand how citizen science can fit into policy needs.
5. Review of technology in citizen science and an exploration of future opportunities.

This document provides information and strategies for reducing empty property rates. It outlines exceptions where empty rates do not apply, such as for listed buildings or properties under a certain rateable value. If exceptions do not apply, owners can appeal the rateable value assessment or take actions to reduce the rates bill by showing disrepair or that the property is incapable of occupation. Temporary intermittent occupation strategies are also discussed, such as occupying for 6 weeks to reset empty rates periods. Letting to charities may provide relief but case law shows the property must be extensively used for charitable purposes. Newly built commercial properties also see empty rates exemptions for 18 months. Contact details are provided for further information.
Nick Pritchard-Gordon is the Empty Homes Officer for Reading BC and Vice Chair of the Empty Homes Network. The Empty Homes Network is a web-based resource that shares best practices for empty homes work through online forums, an extensive library, and weekly news stories. Since 2010, the UK government has increasingly supported empty homes work through national strategies, funding, and legal reforms. Local authorities take different approaches to empty homes work depending on available resources, but practitioners often draw on skills from councils tax, legal, and other teams. Reading BC focuses on the most complex empty home cases through discretionary grants, loans, and enforcement actions when needed. Engaging with empty home owners can be difficult as personal issues often under
The document discusses Camelot's 4th Annual Property Conference and lists various digital style and motion products and services they provide such as BlowUP, Catwalk, Super Motion, and Mega Vision. It also lists types of projects they have worked on including wraps for buildings, construction sites, shops, and life-size replicas as well as scaffold wraps. Locations mentioned include the UK, London, Germany, and Düsseldorf.
The document is an agenda for the 4th Annual Vacant Property Conference on tackling vacant property in London on June 12th, 2014. The agenda includes presentations on emerging security solutions like the Live-in Guardian service, reducing exposure to empty property rates, innovative solutions to generate income from vacant property, and returning empty properties to use. There will also be a Q&A session. Daniel Morgan and Nicholas Donnelly from Camelot Europe will present on how the Live-In Guardian solution outsmarts traditional security methods.
1) Since 2008, full empty property rates are paid for vacant premises after a short grace period, which is 6 months for warehouses/factories and 3 months for other properties.
2) There are some exceptions where empty property rates do not apply, such as listed buildings, properties undergoing administration/liquidation, or those made vacant due to government action.
3) If none of the exceptions apply, property owners can either seek to delete or reduce the rateable value assessment, or take action to reduce the rates bill by appealing based on circumstances at the appeal date or rental values in 2008.
This document summarizes the Rochdale approach to addressing empty properties. It discusses establishing a hub to coordinate actions between local authorities and housing associations. The hub uses both proactive tools like management offers, repair and lease agreements, and purchases as well as enforcement tools involving debt collection, charging orders, and empty dwelling management orders. It also notes an emerging issue with lenders refusing permission for borrowers to participate in empty property schemes and provides a case study where an empty dwelling management order was used with an owner's consent to address this lender refusal.
The document discusses risks associated with vacant properties and provides recommendations to mitigate those risks. It notes that vacant properties are at higher risk of fire, flooding, theft, vandalism and squatting. Insurers view vacant properties as high risk and premiums increase. The document recommends notifying insurers when a property becomes vacant, assessing specific risks, implementing risk mitigation plans, and regularly inspecting vacant properties to identify and address deficiencies. Security measures like locking doors, sealing letterboxes and installing deadbolts are also advised.
This document from Marsh Risk Consulting provides guidance on mitigating risks at vacant properties. It notes that vacant properties are at higher risk of fire, flooding, theft, vandalism and squatting. Insurers consider vacant properties high risk and charge higher premiums. The document recommends notifying insurers when a property becomes vacant and implementing a risk mitigation plan that includes securing the property, isolating utilities, removing combustible materials, installing security measures, and conducting regular inspections. Effective risk management of vacant properties can help reduce insurance premiums and protect the property.
This document summarizes the history and changes to squatting laws in the UK. It discusses:
- Historically, squatting was not a criminal offense unless connected to other crimes, but a new offense of squatting in residential buildings was created in 2012.
- The new offense criminalizes squatting in residential properties, giving police more power to arrest squatters, though police do not necessarily have the appetite or resources to enforce it widely. Proving the offense can also be difficult.
- While the new law aims to protect homeowners, it provides limited clarification and homeowners may not know how to properly contact police. Professional advisors still have an important role to play in eviction processes.
