A site of importance for nature conservation The grounds of crematorium are home to an ancient semi-natural woodland, designated as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC). We work with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust to create additional habitats for wildlife. We are proud of our sustainability and conservation achievements including a wildflower meadow and mound area that has allowed a species-rich habitat to develop. These areas support a range of insects including butterflies and bumblebees. In the woodland pond, rare floating club rush thrive and birds are utilising our bird boxes. Additionally, our bee hives are doing well in partnership with our Local Flavours supplier, Sinah Common Honey. The tree planting and landscaping blends seamlessly with the woodland surroundings and a tranquil memorial garden and wildflower meadow provide a haven for pollinators like bees and other wildlife.
