When churches manage land for nature, be it land owned by the church or land in the local community, they reinforce the whole mission of the church by caring for creation and serving the community - increasing access to nature for human wellbeing, building climate resilience and pointing people towards our Creator God.

There are two pathways through this survey category. Please identify which pathway to follow by choosing a pathway for your land which on balance best fits your situation.

Pathway 1: for churches which own or manage land such as a garden, churchyard or burial ground

Pathway 2: for churches with very limited land such as a paved car park, a perimeter or other hard-standing areas and for churches that do not own or manage any land. This pathway asks you to consider your own small amount of land, if you have any, and also how you can have an influence on land managed by others.
