As part of our care for creation, we have developed a nature trail.

The trail can be downloaded from https://www.smso.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Nature-trail-1.pdf 

Our care for creation also includes

• Regular prayer and worship for God’s creation and our stewardship of the Earth
• We are a Fair Trade Church and use eco-friendly products whenever possible
• Encouraging re-use, recycling, repair and refurbishing in all aspects of our church and community life
• Supporting local flora and fauna through bird and hedgehog boxes, butterfly and bee feeding stations and planting bee-friendly plants
• Engaging all ages of the church community in prayer walks, cycle rides and litter picks
• Encouraging engagement with nature through participation in initiatives such as the Great British Garden Bird Watch and the Big Butterfly Count
• Working with other churches and local environmental groups to promote our care for God’s creation.
