Sherborne Terraces SNCI - routine summer maintenance jobs - EuCAN Somerset Volunteers

Sherborne Terraces SNCI

The Terrace Meadow is a fascinating patch of limestone grassland adjacent to Sherborne’s Terrace Playing Fields sports facilities. It is of particular interest as the soil is unusual for the area, and supports flowers (including orchids), butterflies and other species not generally seen in the locality. It is managed by Sherborne Town Council and EuCAN CIC. Our summer maintenance work includes cutting blackthorn and sycamore regrowth on the road verges, removing hogweed flowerheads to prevent the plant spreading by seed, cutting and removing hemlock, a toxic and invasive agricultural weed species.
We shall be meeting in the Terraces carpark at 9am but walk to find us if you arrive later. It would help if you could let me know if you are planning to join us.
