Nature Watch and Open Days

Our Late Summer Nature Watch will now be held on Sunday 8 August 2010. NOTE : This date has changed from the previous date of 22 August. For more information, please go to our Activity Days page or get in touch.

Sun Rising Newsletters

The latest edition of the Sun Rising Newsletter is available online as a pdf. If you are on our mailing list, you will receive a copy in the post. The Summer edition for June 2010 is now available to download.

Feedback and Forms

Although we have never much liked the idea of sending out feedback forms to families with loved ones buried at Sun Rising, our standards body, The Association of Natural Burial Grounds, have now made it a condition of membership that we do. Of course, we welcome all feedback sent direct to us as well. More information, and a downloadable feedback form, can be found on our Standards and Code of Practice page.

Drainage Work

Our wonderful new drainage scheme is now complete. You will see little runs of earth through the grass for a while, although these will soon grass over. If you have any queries about the work and how it may affect the burial ground and nature reserve, please let us know.

No Dogs

From time to time we have found visitors coming to the burial ground specifically to walk their dogs. On our display board it does say that we don't allow dogs on the site without permission, but we felt we should make this a little more clear. As a result, we now have a new sign to deter dog walkers. It only takes one person who is more interested in their dog being exercised than respecting the graves to upset visitors. We hope you like the sign: we think the dog is rather cute.
