quality wildlife habitat. Key Wildlife Sites network A Wildlife Sites network currently includes over some 800 sites in the county, which are considered the best places for wildlife to develop. These sites are in addition to Trust nature reserves. This list is maintained by the trust. Living Landscapes A Living Landscape is a recovery plan for nature. This work has been in the national The Wildlife Trusts programme since 2006. The Gloucestershire Trust part of the programme has been the initiation of the Living Landscape project in the Severn Vale (2007), the Cotswolds Rivers project (2009) and a project centred on the Forest of Dean (2011). Former Nature Reserves managed under agreement Dowdeswell Reservoir and Wood Campaigns Water voles – A nationally threatened species once common on rivers and streams. In Gloucestershire water voles have disappeared from the river systems and a few fragmented populations survive. The trust provides information to identify a water vole and the land management necessary to support habitat. The water vole is on the list for action in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. The trust carried out a survey in 1978/79 on rivers and streams in the county. A further survey was started in March 1997 in conjunction with the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. The trust published the results of the 1997/98 survey in 2001. This is reported in the Biodiversity Action Plan for Gloucestershire.
