Churchyards feature in Flora Locale’s 2010 Training Programme

The Flora Locale 2010 training programme is created for people involved in the design, management and restoration of landscapes for biodiversity.

Caring for God’s Acre is running a workshop on Wednesday the 23rd of June called ‘Managing churchyards and burial grounds for conservation’ at the beautiful churchyard of Hope Bagot, Shropshire.

The morning will cover how to run a churchyard or burial ground project with the local community, plants commonly found in churchyards and how to work out grass cutting regimes, including a lunchtime practical scything slot.

The afternoon will consist of the following choice of sessions: care of stone walls for plant conservation, care of yew trees, recruiting volunteers and ways to engage the wider community in heritage activities.
