Native hedgerows can play a major role in helping with biodiversity declines and climate change. The government wants the post-Brexit agricultural subsidy system to encourage farmers and landowners to better maintain hedges to meet these aims. Not only can hedgerows prevent flooding and soil erosion and are great for storing carbon, they provide vital links across the countryside and are vital to the survival of much farmland wildlife. A well managed healthy hedge can become an amazing ecosystem, with an astounding species-richness, providing shelter, nesting habitat, wildflowers and berries for a wide range of wildlife. Did you know 107 priority species for conservation action are associated with hedgerows?

Join us on the evening of 22nd February and discover:

How a native hedge can be managed as a wildlife haven
How the wrong kind of management can lead to hedges losing much of their value for wildlife
How and when to rejuvenate a hedge
Ways of using the brash cut from a hedge, from biochar production to wood fuel

We've got three excellent hedge specialist speakers lined up - more details and free registration here:
