Churches Count on Nature is part of Love Your Burial Ground Week, focusing on the brilliant wildlife to be found in churchyards and chapel yards. It is a joint initiative promoted by Caring for God’s Acre, the Church of England, the Church in Wales and A Rocha UK. 

Love Your Burial Ground Week will be held from 6-14th June and St. Peter's is hoping to engage the help from all ages in the local community to record the unique wildlife that can be found around the church. Rev. Denise is very passionate about this initiative and is keen for as many people in Gildersome as possible to take part. In her announcement during the service on 26th April, she said that her hope was that this would become a communitywide event with local schools and clubs getting involved and engaging with the village's nature.
