Rewild cemeteries by planting more trees on that land.

What the petition asks
After the passing of my mother and a burial in a woodland I feel all cemeteries should be like this. With wildlife in abundance compared to the lack of wildlife in most normal cemeteries. Make it compulsory for councils to plant and maintain trees in council cemeteries to bring in wildlife.
All the empty space could be more effectively used to help nature and still be a nice place to visit the loved ones we've lost.
