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?
