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.
