Churches Count on Nature, to run between 5-13 June 2021, is a citizen-science event covering churchyards across the England and Wales. <\/p>\n

The project will see communities and visitors making a note of the animals, birds, insects, or fungi in their local churchyard.<\/p>\n

Their data will then be collated on the National Biodiversity Network.<\/p>\n

One church getting involved is St Pol de L\u00e9on’s Church, Paul, in Cornwall.<\/p>\n

As part of their nature count the church will be marking Environment Sunday and be holding their morning service outside in their \u201cCeltic Quiet Garden.\u201d<\/p>\n
