To protect the beautiful natural environment at Clayton Wood there are a number of rules relating to memorial planting and seed sowing that have to be observed by our clients: P Plants and seed must be native P Only plants and seed from Clayton Wood’s approved planting list may be used P Planting and seed sowing must be appropriate to the location (woodland species within the wooded areas and meadow species within the meadow areas). We understand the need to plant or sow seed on the burial plots, however we’re seeing increasing volumes of non-native and inappropriate plants establishing around the ground. The team at Clayton Wood reserve the right to remove any plants that are not on the approved planting list. While five acres of Clayton Wood establishes itself as semi- natural woodland, the remainder of the land is managed as meadow. Meadows are an important habitat which until recently have been in decline. We’re in the fortunate position to be able to help reverse this decline, managing ten acres of our site as native wildflower meadow. This offers plant diversity and attracts important pollinator insects and invertebrates, which in turn attracts birds, bats and mammals. By following our ‘native and wild’ planting rules, our customers demonstrate their commitment to the natural burial ground ethos and help us retain our natural burial ground status.
