Bampton Conservation: The Churchyard

One area of the Churchyard is preserved as a conservation area to encourage the biodiversity of plants, insects, and small mammals.

It is looked after by a local resident. The area is lightly managed, and only cut back once a year in late autumn after the seeds have dropped.

Below is her list of plants which might be observed there.
