Standing Stone Creek flows through Alan Seeger Natural Area in Huntingdon County, Pa., on Oct. 7, 2020. An invasive insect, the hemlock woolly adelgid, has attacked eastern hemlock trees in the area, which holds a rare stand of old-growth trees. The hemlock woolly adelgid causes an infested tree to drop its needles, and stressed trees can eventually die from heat and drought. Active management in Pennsylvania includes chemical treatment and biocontrols—essentially predatory beetles that eat the invasive insect. Keeping a forest healthy—by safeguarding its soils, water quality and biodiversity—plays a huge part in keeping trees resilient to the invaders. (Photo by Will Parson/Cheapeake Bay Program)

A legal challenge is underway in the NSW Land and Environment court over the state approval of the Shenhua coal mine proposed for development at Breeza on the Liverpool Plains.
The Upper Mooki Landcare group from the Liverpool Plains region will argue that the Shenhua Watermark mine approval failed to properly consider, as required by law, whether the open cut coal mine would place a viable local population of koalas, a threatened species, at risk of extinction.
If the mine proceeds it will bulldoze 847 hectares of koala habitat, displacing an estimated 262 koalas.

Madeira vine (Anredera cordifolia) is a noxious weed that must be controlled.
The vine has aerial tubers on the stem as well as underground tubers. To remove the plant it is best to dig out the tubers from the soil and collect all aerial tubers. If using herbicide scrape the stem with the back of a knife and paint undiluted glyphosate herbicide on the cut within 30 seconds.

The towering trees surrounding the swimming pool area offer a level of intimacy to this large space, while the subtle sounds of falling water from the sheer descent waterfalls and the castle-like over-flow from the spa soothe and relax the soul. The wood-burning fireplace can be enjoyed both from the upper seating area and while relaxing in the spa.

Trees planted by the Hopewell Tree Stewards grow at Riverside Park in Hopewell, Va., on June 20, 2022. The trees were planted to help absorb stormwater runoff from a nearby paved area before it reaches a stream leading to the Appomattox River. Erin Kelley, now leader of the fledging nonprofit, received training from Tree Stewards when it was a grant-funded program of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. In late April, the group hosted a Hopewell Family Arbor Day with over 200 attendees and 71 participating organizations, groups and businesses. “We have a lot of stormwater issues going on in the city of Hopewell,” said Kelley, who pointed out that trees do more than just soak up tens of thousands of gallons of water, like providing cooling shade to overheated city streets. “It saves power because it does that—makes it more beautiful, makes it more attractive to go to the park, so we planted a lot in our parks.” (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK
The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.
This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.
H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to
form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.
The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.
There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.
In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.
The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008
As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.
Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity
A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.
Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.
The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.
Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.
Chronology
1952 - Construction work is begun. The layout of the bunker area duplicates the underground version built at RAF Bawburgh.
1953 - Construction work is largely completed.
1954 - The building is equipped and ready for experiments.
1956-1958 - Addition of 2nd storey to offices
1957-1960 - Experiments of automatic tracking, novel plot projection systems and data management and communications systems tested.
1960-1970 - Project Linesman mediator experiments carried out including a novel display technique known as a Touch screen ( A World First)
TOUCHSCREEN
A team led by Eric Johnson in H building at Malvern. RRE Tech Note 721 states: This device, the Touch Sensitive Electronic Data Display, or more shortly the ‘Touch Display’, appears to have the potential to provide a very efficient coupling between man and machine. (E A Johnson 1966). See also patent GB 1172222.
Information From Hugh Williams/mraths
1980-1990 - During this period experiments are moved to another building and H building is underused.
1990-1993 - The building was re-purposed and the bunker (room H57) had the first floor closed over to add extra floor area.
2008- The bunker was used until late 2008 for classified research / Joint intelligence centre
2019 - Visual Recording of the buildings interior by MRATHS. Be means of a LIDAR scan and photographs being taken. The exterior was mapped with a drone to allow a 3D Image of the building to be created via Photogrammetry. This was created in Autodesk Photo Recap.
2020 - Building demolished as part of the redevelopment of the site.
