White Street Sports Field and Pavilion

The 12 acre White Street site (right) was acquired by North Curry Parish Council in 2006 by means of an agreement drawn up under the terms of Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

West of England Developments agreed to fund the building of a changing facility, access and associated car park and these have now been completed. The site is now fully operational for both cricket and football.

The Community Woodland

This area of about an acre in the far corner of White Street Sports Field was planted by volunteers in the spring of 2009 with about 25 species of native trees and shrubs. It also contains a small orchard with apple, pear and plum varieties and an area of hazel and walnut trees. At the centre is a circular seat, a good place to sit and watch birds coming to the nearby bird feeders.

Recently, the site has been extended with a pond, shrub bank and south-facing ‘butterfly bank’, and several structures have been built to provide shelter for invertebrates and small mammals. You will also see nesting boxes for the many birds that visit the site, including two owl boxes in the large oak and ash trees. A living willow arch grows over one of the pathways and there is a willow tunnel in the hazel grove for children to explore.

The site is looked after by North Curry Wildlife Group who do the routine tasks of grass cutting, scrub removal and tree pruning, put up and check bird boxes, feed birds in winter, count bees and butterflies, record flowering plants and monitor the wildlife of the site.
