The Caring for God’s Acre Churchyard and Burial Ground Action Pack will help you with the sensitive management of your local churchyard, cemetery or burial ground. 

There are guidelines on the management of wildlife habitats such as grassland and trees, and features such as lychgates, boundary walls and old stonework. 

It includes information on how to involve others and how to make use of these places for learning and community activity.

Whatever management methods you choose the Action Pack will guide you through what’s best for protecting wildlife, preserving heritage and involving people. 

The pack is divided into four sections:

• Managing Churchyards and Burial Grounds, sheets A 1 – 11
• Havens for Wildlife, sheets B 1 – 11
• Burial Ground through Time, sheets C 1 – 4
• Involving People, sheets D 1 – 6
