The Church of England are working to address the global eco crisis. One of the topics for the forthcoming General Synod meeting later this month is looking at how the land that the church has can be used for the benefit of the planet. Some of the recommendations for parishes are things we have already implemented in Methley such as no mow regimes, planting for biodiversity, bird and bat boxes. We have ongoing work with a local hedgehog group to explore ways of encouraging them in the churchyard.
