Parishes across the diocese are joining in with this year’s Churches Count on Nature, an annual “wildlife census” for the nation’s churchyards.

The Church of England Environment Programme is also running a series of webinars during Churches Count on Nature week.

The Diocese of Leeds is delighted to have partnered with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust so that our parishes can take part in either the Churches Count on Nature or join in with the Great Yorkshire Creature Count on Wednesday 24th June and Thursday 25th June.

All the information from the churchyard species recording will help to build up a picture of biodiversity across the region as the information is sent or uploading onto the iNaturalist database.
