On the evening of 16 August, Fulham Cemetery Friends placed a moth trap in the south meadow. This uses an ultraviolet lamp to attract moths. The moth trap was opened at 8am on Sunday morning. We found a total of 38 moths, of approx. 14 species.

The cemetery is looking very tidy at the moment, with most of the grass mowed over the past couple of weeks. Fulham Cemetery Friends have agreed with the council that the remaining grassland will be left unmowed for the rest of the summer to protect biodiversity. Signs have been installed in these areas.

Tree watering has resumed!
As it has been dry for 2 weeks, with no rain in the forecast, it would be good for us to resume tree watering. There are 37 young trees, 36 now in their second year. We aim to give each tree 60 liters of water per week. Read the tree watering instructions or email us with any questions.
