North Curry Wildlife

North Curry Wildlife Group has joined forces with Climate Action Athelney to form the North Curry Environment Group. A website and social media sites are being set up and links will be posted here in due course.

The main focus of this site is the wildlife of the Community Woodland at North Curry'sWhite Street Sports Ground, but we aim to include other areas around the village too (see the Places section). The Projects section shows what we are doing to help wildlife in North Curry, while the Gardening section gives advice on how to help wildlife in our own gardens. Our Species pages include information about some of the plants and wildlife to be found at the Community Woodland.

See also our X account for news or recent wildlife sightings: www.x.com/ncurrywildlife If you have any sightings to report, do be in touch via the Contact Us page.

LATEST NEWS

Display at the Village Shop, 1 to 15 March 2025

We had a display in the village shop window from 1 to 15 March. We asked people to Think Globally and Act Locally. And also to consider doing what they could in their own gardens for wildlife. There is plenty of advice in the Gardening section of this website. Just click on the Gardening button on the task bar above.

22 February: Dave Patten has reported a sighting of a green pheasant on the Helland turning by the Langport road. Could this be a Japanese Green Pheasant or hybrid raised for a shoot?
