North Curry Wildlife

North Curry Environment Group formed in 2023 as an amalgamation of North Curry Wildlife Group and Climate Action Athelney.

The main focus of this website is the wildlife of North Curry, and particularly of the Community Woodland at North Curry’s White Street Sports Ground, but other areas around the village are included (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 encourage wildlife in our own gardens. Our Species pages contain information about some of the plants and wildlife to be found at the Community Woodland throughout the year, as well as other areas of the village.

The Environment Group presents a free film: National Emergency Briefing

Monday 5 October, North Curry Village Hall

Doors open 7.15pm, film starts 7.30pm, followed by open discussion

Admission free

This eye-opening briefing took place in Westminster Hall last November when ten of the UK’s leading experts in several fields briefed an invited audience of over 1200 politicians and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media. It was chaired by Professor Mike Berners-Lee (author of There’s No Planet B and How Bad are Bananas?) and included nine leading UK scientists and experts on the climate and nature crisis and its impact on everyday life.

The briefing has now been made into a film, introduced by Chris Packham and featuring Deborah Meaden and others. It covers a range of topics including extreme weather, national security and the economy, food security, health, the cost of living and nature loss.

It’s definitely a subject for everyone to consider and take to heart.
