Land and Nature 

Our native wildlife in the UK is in trouble

We have taken land away from habitat for wildlife and into cultivation for food or other uses.

The result, a major loss of biodiversity, is not only poor stewardship of God’s creation, but also contributes to loss of ecosystems which ultimately affect our ability to breathe, eat and drink clean water. 

UK churches can play a part in abating or reversing this trend. We have space which have been relatively undisturbed for centuries so let’s encourage native wildlife and share these areas with them.

At St. Illtud's this autumn we are

carrying out a survey of our churchyard to see where we can encourage more wildlife, whilst enhancing  the space as a place of peace, prayer and contemplation for the community to enjoy and preserving it as a place where loved ones can be laid to rest and remembered.
