Please email the editor on any wildlife-related matter.

Sir/Madam, I help to maintain our Churchyard, which mainly involves cutting and strimming a grassed area of about an acre. I would like to see a policy agreed whereby we keep a large area of grass uncut in order to encourage wild flowers to naturalise. We have already left an area uncut for one year, but I wonder if at some stage some cutting will be needed at a certain height. Can you please advise on what care/maintenance will be needed to develop this conservation area? Is there a particular reference on wildlife conservation in Churchyards? Grateful for any advice,

Hi there. I'm an Environmental Science graduate with two years editorial/publishing experience. I'd love to combine the two and work for an online publication like Conserv@tion, either freelance or full-time. Any opportunities?
