💧Tree watering has started! Can you help?
Fulham Cemetery has many beautiful trees and supports a rich variety of wildlife. The Friends promote tree planting, biodiversity, and activities that enhance the cemetery's appearance.
Fulham Cemetery is a precious urban forest with a wide variety of beautiful and distinctive trees. Many are at the end of their natural lifespan, so we need to plant more trees.
London's green spaces support a vital network of animal, bird, insect, and plant species. Read more about them and how we can help care for them.

Fulham Cemetery Friends have created a range of downloadable trails and activities to help visitors and their children discover the biodiversity of Fulham Cemetery.

Why the long grass?
Why the long grass?
During the summer months (May-September), the council Parks department lets the grass in areas of the cemetery grow long. By doing this they are:
Increasing biodiversity
Providing habitat for insects, such as butterflies, and other wildlife
Reducing CO2 emissions
Promoting sustainable landscaping
Paths are mowed to open up areas for walkers and allow access to graves.

Tree database
Tree database
Fulham Cemetery Friends maintains a database of all new trees planted in the cemetery.
The aim is to add all the cemetery's trees to the database eventually, and add information labels to the trees, to make it easier for the public to find out information about them.
