The PCC have agreed to two actions to become an Eco-friendlier church.
1. An on-line audit of the church building.
2. Two areas of the churchyard to be managed for wildlife, initially by leaving the grass uncut.
Our aim is to turn part of the churchyard into a natural, flowery space, to encourage wildlife and make it more attractive and interesting for visitors. Our long-term vision is to preserve the churchyard as a special, sacred place, remembering that if we turn it entirely over to nature we forget the work of past generations who cared for it and we could impede access to graves and for on-going burials.
The first area is the part of the graveyard at the front (south end) of the church to the west of the footpath. The second area is the part of the graveyard immediately behind the church (north end). Signs will be erected.
It would be good to involve local families/children making bug hotels, etc. If you would like to be involved in any way (practical, guidance or funding) please let us know.
