Below are some before and after pictures of some of our bramble clearances:

We are also installing Marker posts for the cemetery zones:

Volunteers at the 11th April 2026 session

The cemetery staff drill the holes and then we put in the posts and the concrete. We have had all of the zone markers 3D printed funded by grants from Derby Association of Community Partners and Foundation Derbyshire.
