Dorset Conservation

Many thanks to Dorset County Council who support and help to fund this web site. With their support this web site has now moved to a new web host which should allow me to make some much needed improvements and enhancements.

Sorry for the Lack of Updates Recently

I've been a bit busy trying to teach myself to design web sites the proper way - using XHTML, CSS and Javascript. In the long run this should make the Dorset Conservation website better and more accessible. Please bear with me . . . there will be a new version of this web site along at some point in the next few months.
