Restore or Create a Traditional Hedge

A-shaped hedge

Hedgerows form an historic part of our countryside and also provide an important habitat for a wide range of species.  Bats, birds and butterflies all use hedges as corridors for flight and they also provide a good source of food.  Birds use hedges to nest in and hedgerow trees as song posts.  Hedges also provide a home for a range of small mammals.

More information on how to manage hedgerows for wildlife, renovate a hedge or plant a new one is available on one of the leaflets below.   And you can also follow the link though to the National Hedge Laying Society to source an accredited craftsman and find out more about the history of laying hedges
