The project worked with individuals, groups and Local Authorities across Gwent to inspire and educate about our rich churchyard heritage……..

Work included:

• Delivery of training programme attended by 550+ people

• Interest from 75+ churchyards

• Baseline wildlife surveys and management plans for 25 key sites plus advice & support for many others!

• 20+ project officer talks

• 10+ successful grant applications supported

• Annual minibus visits to Living Churchyards in action

• Support for local churchyard open days & events (e.g. rake & bake days)

• Input into revised Church in Wales guidance on churchyard management

Although the project itself has finished we hope the information on these web pages and the web links will provide sources of inspiration and help to those of you considering developing your own living churchyard.
