Curtis Fields SNCI Weymouth

At the southern end of Markham Avenue

We have been making great progress on this SNCI (and the adjacent land – the ‘SANG’) over the past 2 years, removing the scrub that has developed here since the farming here stopped early in the late 90’s/ early 2000’s. The result has been a huge increase in the numbers of wildflowers and insects (especially butterflies). We will always leave enough scrub and woodland for the nesting birds and other wildlife.For this visit to Curtis Fields we will be cutting out some new areas in the scrub and burning if conditions permit. The main focus of our work will be the SW corner of the SNCI where the Dorset Countryside Volunteers made a really good start recently.Meet at 8.30am at the access off Markham Avenue or walk to find us if you arrive later – see map.

If you plan to join us, it helps with our planning if you let me know by email or text. – though this is not essential.

We would like to build up a team of volunteers for this site so please get in touch if you would like to join it.
