	Conservation headlands - The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Conservation headlands are headlands of cereal crops that are sprayed selectively to allow small populations of broad-leaved weeds and their associated insects to develop.
		Conservation headlands in appropriate places will contain small populations of broad-leaved plants, which have little competitive impact on a crop.
		The overall effect of conservation headland management is to boost the numbers of beneficial insects in the crop margin.

		Herbicides and insecticides may be applied to the headlands only with the prior written agreement of Scottish Ministers.

		• A 'Conservation Headland' of 6m or wider, forming the outer margin of the crop and separated from an adjacent field boundary or other vegetation by a 1m Sterile Strip.
		The Conservation Headland is cropped with cereals, but is managed with reduced inputs of pesticides so as to favour wild arable plants and invertebrates.
		Conservation Headlands are areas that have been sown with the crop but are subject to reduced spraying in order to allow broadleaved weed species to grow.

		The conservation area also includes the headland round the Finlandia Hotel (that nowadays houses an auxiliary ward of Punkaharju rehabilitation hospital) and the surroundings of the hospital.
		According to the plan, the purpose of the use and management of the area is to conserve the esker formation and national landscape valuable with respect to geology, landscape and tourism.
		The purpose of its management is to conserve the pine dominated esker landscape that in the course of time has become a national landscape and to maintain services for traditional tourism.

	The Game Conservancy Trust Conservation policy on farmland: restoring biodiversity to farmland
		Conservation headlands retain some of the natural weed flora.
		Those farmers who have conserved wildlife, either through traditional farming methods or by retaining natural habitats like hedgerows, need be rewarded.

	General Site Designations
		These are areas of land that have been identified by the appropriate nature conservation body as being of the highest degree of conservation value.
		The purpose of designating and conserving SACs is to maintain or restore the habitats listed on Annex I and the species listed on Annex II of the Directive to Favourable Conservation Status.
		Favourable Conservation Status is defined in the Directive in the context of habitats as the establishment of conditions which will ensure that the extent and range of the habitat, and the populations of the constituent species of that habitat, will be maintained or increased over time.

		It is really pleasing to see a major increase in the number of fields around the Brecks with conservation headlands.
		A field headland is the bit all the way around the outside of the field that runs from the hedge for about 3-5 metres or so into the field.
		A conservation headland is one which may be planted with a mixture of less commercial grass seeds and wildflowers which when seeded will provide food for birds.

		One way to improve the nature conservation value of an arable farm without serious impact on profitability is to establish conservation headlands.
		In general, care is necessary to avoid spray drift onto the conservation headland from normal operations carried out on the rest of the field.
		In general a seed mixture for conservation headlands should consist of slow growing grasses such as red fescue plus 5% tussock grass such as cocksfoot or oatgrass and up to 10 wild flowers appropriate to the soil type.

		The Allerton Project is a partnership between The Game Conservancy Trust and the Allerton Research and Educational Trust and is based at Loddington, a 333ha mixed arable and livestock farm in Leicestershire.
		Increasingly we are studying the agronomy of both wildlife crops and commercial crops in an attempt to meet our agricultural and environmental objectives, including those relating to soil and water.
		Conservation at Loddington is in the form of a carefully designed system, with each component having a specific role in terms of wildlife ecology.

	Arable (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Conservation headlands at the edge of the crop have a restricted spraying regime to encourage broad-leaved plants and invertebrates.
		Due to local soil conditions and weed burdens, particularly in the High Weald, conservation headlands in conjunction with the 6 metre arable margins are rarely undertaken.
		A conservation headland is a selectively managed part of the crop, and can be 6 – 24 m’s wide depending on tramlines.

		Beach nourishment with headland breakwaters to extend the life of the beach fill is a coastal engineering technique that has been used successfully to maintain beaches both on open coast locations and on bay shorelines.
		The primary goal of this research was to demonstrate that the existing headland beach technology could be applied to the Gulf of Mexico estuaries in a cost efficient manner.

	Wildflower Conservation Paper
		In 1997, as part of the restoration of a gravel pit on the estate into a nature reserve, a one hectare area that was unable to be quarried, due to the archaeological interest underneath was restored as a spring sown arable area, which is not harvested but left as a food source for wintering birds.
		Because of the botanical importance of the neighbouring arable headlands, the opportunity to increase the number of conservation headlands was taken under the Countryside Stewardship Scheme.
		Grass adjacent to arable wildflower conservation headlands should be regularly cut to prevent the grass seeding into the headland.

		A Conservation headland is a strip down the edge of a cereal crop in which pesticides have been sprayed only in a selective manner.
		This is done to increase the number of weed and insect species present, which benefits the bird species that depend on them.
		Conservation headlands were introduced in the 1980s by scientists working for the Game Conservancy Trust in Great Britain.

		Be aware of conservation areas and opportunities on the farm.
		Because of the high performance of present day pesticides, where 90% pest control is commonly achieved, the main body of the field presents a sparse supply of shelter or food for birds and insects alike.
		This places a heavy burden on the vegetation at the end of the field and conservation measures must therefore concentrate on enhancing this area as a wildlife haven.

	Field margins and conservation strips
		Thus, the conservation of rare cornfield flowers is likely to be most successful at the field edge.
		The terminology used here follows that of (Greaves and Marshall, 1987), in which the term field margin includes any pre-existing boundary structure, such as a hedge, a boundary strip and the crop edge, where conservation headlands are located.
		For example, within a grass margin, the area nearest the hedge may be managed for tussocky grasses to provide nesting cover for gamebirds and over-wintering habitat for beetles and other invertebrates.

		In the 1980s we ran a series of trials asking farmers to reduce the sprays along the 6 metre crop margin - the headland.
		The results were astonishing; arable flowers that had been lost for a generation re-appeared, insect abundance increased and consequently young partridge chicks survived as well as they had in pre-war days.
		On very light land EF9 Conservation headlands which permit ferlilizer will give good results, but ELS option EF10 Conservation Headlands with no fertilizer is a very high conservation value option on arable farmland.

		It requires protection from northwesterly exposure along the coast and so often occurs either at the mouth of a river or to the south of a major headland.
