Knighton Wild has a working group helping to maintain St Mary’s Churchyard.
St Mary Magdalen Churchyard Group
This group organises practical activities in the churchyard to maintain it in a wildlife friendly way, and works with the church and the City Council. This activity is part of the Royal Horticultural Society It’s Your Neighbourhood scheme. The group is responsible for the wildflower areas, shown in green on the map below and for maintaining the churchyard to encourage wildlife.
There were guided tours of the churchyard on Sunday 25th June 2017. A work session was held on Saturday 16th June 2017 to rake up the grass cuttings. Members of Knighton Wild laid a hedge along the north-west side of the churchyard on Saturday 25th November 2017. Photos before and after and a link to other photos here…
In 2018 there have been sessions to make and install bird boxes in the churchyard, to create habitats for insects, and to clear the grass cuttings in the autumn. In the meantime, email info@knightonwild.org.uk if you are interested.
