FCF meeting on Sunday 9 February 2025

The first meeting of the Friends in 2025 was held on Sunday, 9 February, from 11am to 12pm at our usual venue, the Fulham Cross Girls School in Munster Road. Here is a summary.

Bird, bat, and insect boxes installed in Fulham Cemetery

Thanks to the Veolia Sustainability Fund, the Fulham Cemetery Friends have installed 7 bird boxes, 3 bat boxes, and 4 insect boxes in the cemetery. Thanks very much to Idverde and RSPB for the installation of the bird and bat boxes. Photo gallery

For the installation they used an extendable ladder from the Library of Things, a useful local resource that saves money and encourages sustainability by re-using resources.

Details of what we installed:

• 10 bird and bat boxes from the Nestbox Company (3 bat boxes and 7 bird boxes of 3 sizes), with hole plates

• 2 x National Trust Apex Bee & Insect House from CJ Wildlife

• 2 x Butterfly & Bee Box from CJ Wildlife
