No mow meadows and pollinator counts
No mow meadows and pollinator counts
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.

The areas shown in yellow on the map are being protected as conservation grassland.
In future years, we hope to increase these areas, for example those shown in pink.

Pollinator counts
The biodiversity of these areas of grassland is immediately apparent in the number and variety of butterflies, bees, and other insects that can be found there, and the wide range of wildflowers.
The Friends have been doing regular pollinator counts to assess the wildlife in these areas. Counts are logged in the Pollinator Counts Tracker spreadsheet.
