ABOUT US
North Curry Environment Group formed in 2023 as an amalgamation of North Curry Wildlife Group and Climate Action Athelney.
The aims of North Curry Environment Group include:
- seeking ways to enable people to lower their carbon footprint and live more sustainable lives
- finding ways to improve the environment and biodiversity
- promoting renewable energy to help fight climate change
- encouraging nature restoration in our village
- helping to maintain the Community Woodland at North Curry’s White Street Sports Ground
- planting trees
- making appple juice (Fruits of Athelney) from surplus local fruit and enabling others to do so by hiring out our equipment
Awards for All grant
We received a generous Awards for All grant from the National Lottery Community Fund and have used this money both to encourage local wildlife and to enhance community involvement with the wild areas of the village.
The Community Woodland
Looking after the Community Woodland includes the routine maintenance tasks of grass cutting, scrub removal and tree pruning as well as monitoring the wildlife of the site. The Community Woodland has an information board on site which was kindly designed by Kate and Simon Mears and produced with the help of our Community Fund award (see our Projects section).

Social media
We maintain this website, an X account (@ncurrywildlife) and a Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ClimateAction.Athelney) to keep people informed of our work.
