Friends of Fulham Cemetery.

Fulham Cemetery is one of the most beautiful green spaces in southwest London, a calm urban oasis, with a rich history. Many local residents are interested in helping to care for its monuments, trees, and wildlife, but there is currently no way for them to coordinate their efforts. Inspired by the Friends of Margravine Cemetery, I would like to set up the Fulham Cemetery Friends to fill this gap. There is an immediate need: this winter the Council plans to plant 36 new trees in the cemetery. Young trees require regular watering during the summer, so there will be an urgent need for a volunteer group to keep the new trees watered next year. And there is a lot more we could do, such as organising bird and tree walks, local history walks, and coordinating with the council on maintenance and planting.
