Introducing the Wonderfully Wild Churchyard Pack - with resources for all ages

It's here! I'm so excited to introduce the Wonderfully Wild Churchyard Pack! This nature-based resource is filled with engaging materials for all ages, offering invitations to explore, discover, and pray for our wonderfully wild green churchyards.

Whether you're an ecochurch, an outdoor church, or a church with a passion for nature, I hope these resources will inspire all generations to discover the beauty & wonder of creation found in so many of our churchyards.

This 30+ page Resource Pack includes five unique resources:

:: Wild Churchyard Trail for All Ages

Featuring 12 creatures commonly found in wild churchyards, each of these colourful trail signs shares key facts, a prayer & ideas to support wildlife. Designed to be displayed around your churchyard, you can choose to display as many or as few of the trail signs as you wish. It's ideal for the summer holidays or can be used throughout the year.

For best results, print the trail in colour on white A4 paper.

:: A Wild Churchyard Poster

This poster is perfect for displaying in the wild, overgrown areas of your churchyard, highlighting just some of the creatures that call it home. For best results, print the poster in colour on white A4 paper

:: A set of Nature Identification Sheets for Churchyards

A set of five sheets for both children & adults to use while exploring your churchyard. These colourful sheets feature wildflowers, trees, insects, birds, & outdoor features often found in churchyards across the UK. They're ideal for Forest Church sessions, children's groups, school visits, or can be left in church/porch for visitors & families to find, encouraging them to discover & explore the biodiversity that your churchyard offers.

For best results, print in colour on white A4/A5 paper.

:: Children's Activity Sheets

A set of activities full of fun challenges and facts exploring the creatures featured in the Wild Churchyard Trail, along with a colouring sheet & a treasure hunt. These printable sheets can be used alongside the trail or shared with children during outdoor events, added to summer packs, used on school visits, or left in your church for families to discover. Simply select the activities that are relevant to your situation and age range.

For best results, print in colour on white A4 paper.

:: Wild Churchyard Mini Meditations

A set of 12 mini meditations for adults or older teens, focusing on the creatures featured in the Churchyard trail. Designed to be cut into 12 separate meditations, these can be used for outdoor worship, left as bookmarks for visitors, added to prayer spaces, or placed in quiet areas of your churchyard as invitations to reflect & pray.

For best results, print in colour on white A4 card.

The pack also includes links to additional resources ideal for encouraging children and families to explore your churchyard.

Our churchyards are hidden treasures that so many often overlook. They not only offer an abundance of wildlife but also provide much-needed serene spaces that are hard to find in our fast-paced world. So, why not celebrate your local churchyard & invite all ages to come & explore all it has to offer. Who knows what they might discover or how they could be inspired!

I hope this pack provides you with space to discover, reflect, and connect with God's beautifully wild gift of creation.
