Part of the process of working towards achieving an eco-church award is about encouraging our communities to join in. So we will be sharing some environmental tips and news.

This week we are thinking about BUTTERFLIES. Did you know that more than half of the UK’s butterfly species are in long term decline? But we can help. Why not leave a patch of your grass to grow long, rather than mow. Or let’s choose nectar rich plants for our gardens and avoid the use of pesticides.
