Churchyards and even church buildings across the Diocese of Bristol serve as vital sanctuaries for a diverse range of wildlife, including rare and protected species. These spaces provide a unique opportunity to care for and celebrate God’s creation while supporting local biodiversity.
If your church is fortunate enough to have a churchyard, glebe land, or green space, you have the chance to play a significant role in preserving and enhancing habitats. To assist with this, we provide resources and guidance on encouraging biodiversity, protecting the species that call these spaces home, and exploring the natural treasures within your acres.
By actively managing these areas for wildlife, we can ensure they continue to thrive as places of ecological and spiritual significance for generations to come.
