meet at the stream bridge near to the Scout Hut, Elder Road at 10am. We
normally finish about 12.00. We need more volunteers and your help for our
conservation working parties as many hands make for light work! All are welcome
at our conservation working parties (under 16s should be accompanied by an
adult). No experience is required, there’s a friendly crowd, it is great fun and good
exercise too!
Our main task at this working party will be to clear some of the dense
undergrowth that has grown up over the past two summers – this will allow more
light to reach the ground and for a range of wild flowers to thrive. If you have
shears or loppers, please bring them with you. If not, spares will be available and
any other necessary tools provided.

A further Conservation Work Party will be held on Saturday Saturday 4th
December. Further dates in 2022 will be announced nearer the time.

WILD WOODBURY UPDATE

On September 28 Dorset
th
Wildlife Trust took over full
possession of Court Form after
the farm tenancy came to an
end. The land will no longer
be a farm and the Trust has
changed the name of the land
to Wild Woodbury. This new
name reflects the location of
the land below the historic
Woodbury Hill.

The land covers 170 hectares
to the south of the A35 (see map and aerial photos). To the west, the fields are
either side of Froom’s Lane and on the other side of the hill the fields are on the
eastern slope down to the Wareham Road.
