Respect have been nominated and short listed for The prestigious Green Guardian Award 2011

Respect Green Burial Park near Doncaster has been shortlisted for a prestigious environmental award in the Wildlife Trusts’ Green Guardians scheme.

The natural burial ground at Hawks Nest, between Bawtry and Scrooby, has ben sown with wildflower seed for next season. Bat and bird boxes have been put up.

Respect has been nominated for the categories Protecting the Environment through Innovation, First Steps to Sustainability and the Environmental Business Award.

Proprietor Gordon Tulley said: “One of the key elements in the ethos of a natural woodland green burial park is the development of a sustainable, enriching environment in which wildlife is encouraged to flourish. Unlike a bleak council cemetery a true green burial ground is a warm, inviting place for both people and animals.”
