Rewilding the churchyard

I am happy to have helped Ide to try changing the management of the churchyard to encourage wildflowers, habitat and diversity (re-wilding). A volunteer group in the community has drawn up a management plan, the Parochial Church Council and the Parish Council are all in favour. I have arranged for Teignbridge to reduce the cutting in summer, which will help wildflowers. The volunteer group will collect the grass cuttings which helps thin the grass and allows more seeds to germinate. Exminster have done this already as seen here.
