Cambridgeshire Wildlife Trust
The Cambridgeshire Wildlife Trust offer a Churchyard Conservation Award Scheme, which is supported by the Diocese.
Once registered, your church works towards the Bronze, Silver or Gold Award and you will be offered at least one free advisory visit.
The scoring guide for the Award is clear, which helps provide a focus for planning, e.g. the production of a mowing plan of the churchyard, to include a spring wildflowers area, will score 2 points.
Registration for an Award will also help churches which are working towards an Eco Church Award.
Access application forms and further information on wild churchyards from www.wildlifebcn.org.
