The Parish Council has adopted a long term management plan for hedgerows in Chesham Bois Burial Ground with advice from the team, part of The Chiltern Society.
The hedgerow between the woodland and the new formal areas was laid this winter and the work was completed in six days. Our thanks go to everyone involved.
Later this year, we plan to lay the hedges either side of the entrance to the new formal (middle) section of the cemetery.
