Six-year-old nature lover from Creekmoor to do sponsored litter pick

Sonja said: “Earlier in the year Marley was elected to be Eco School Counsellor by his class, so he takes this as having a responsibility to look after the local environment. “This is why for his sixth birthday he asked for a little picker as we saw on Hamworthy Hedgehog Rescue the damage litter does to the Hedgehogs living environment. “He has always loved wildlife and wants to do as much as he can to help protect it for the future. “We chose Hamworthy Hedgehog Rescue as he loves Hedgehogs and Dorset Wildlife Trust have started a beaver project in Dorset last month and he really wants to join Beavers after lockdown, so this is what got him interested in this.”

Weymouth Avenue cemetery, Dorchester, could become conservation site

A SECOND Dorchester cemetery could be designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Interest. Fordington Cemetery achieved the status in 2020 and could soon be followed by the larger Weymouth Avenue cemetery. A survey carried out there last summer (2020) revealed that it was richer in wildflowers and grasses than originally thought, including several species which are considered ‘notable’ for Dorset. Among the rare finds are a type of willowherb, field woodrush, creeping cinquefoil, cat’s-ear, knapweed, glaucous sedge, groundsel and prickly sow-thistle. Town council outdoor services manager Carl Dallison said that the plants had survived under the current mowing regime so he would not anticipate any major changes to the management of the cemetery being made, unlike Fordington where mowing was reduced and delayed at certain times of the year.
