Falmouth’s Old Cemetery Gets a Makeover: See How Volunteers Are Transforming the Space

Falmouth’s old cemetery has received a much-needed refresh thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers who have spent the past few months revitalising its lower section.

Monday Morning Efforts

Every Monday, volunteers have been devoting hours to clear footpaths, prune overhanging vegetation, and tackle overgrown areas. Their hard work is already making a noticeable difference, with improved accessibility and tidier walkways throughout the area.

Preserving History and Wildlife

The restoration efforts are not just about tidying up—volunteers have also been mindful of preserving the cemetery’s character and protecting its wildlife habitat. Tasks such as managing invasive plants near headstones and cutting back scrub along stone walls are being handled with care to ensure the site remains a respectful resting place as well as a sanctuary for nature.

How You Can Get Involved

Falmouth Town Council expressed gratitude for the volunteers’ contributions, highlighting how their dedication has made an invaluable impact. The council is encouraging anyone interested in joining the team to sign up via their volunteer platform, Love Falmouth Volunteers, where more details about how to get involved can be found.

With more helping hands, the restoration work can continue to breathe new life into this historic site. Whether you have gardening experience or just a few hours to spare, your efforts could help make a lasting difference.
