Churchyards can be surprisingly rich in nature, and many of the plants, fungi, and animals found within a churchyard predate the church buildings and help identify the timelessness of these places and the consistent management they have received year after year.
There are growing, feeding, nesting, roosting, and hibernating places for plants, animals, birds, fungi, and lichens, and we are still learning about how good they are for biodiversity.
