THANK YOU FOR TAKING PART IN LOVE YOUR BURIAL GROUND WEEK WITH CHURCHES COUNT ON NATURE 2026

For over 16 years we have been encouraging all who help to look after churchyards, chapel yards and cemeteries to celebrate these fantastic places in the lovely month of June.

Churches Count on Nature is part of Love Your Burial Ground Week, focusing on the brilliant wildlife to be found in churchyards and chapel yards. It is a joint initiative promoted by Caring for God’s Acre, the Church of England, the Church in Wales and A Rocha UK. National Cemeteries Week is hosted by the National Federation of Cemetery Friends.

Thank you to everyone who organised or took part in one of the over 450 events and activities that took place in 2026. The map of these events can be found here.
