Hedge Planting

As part of our higher level stewardship status with Natural England, we are planting several new hedgerows around the farm. Last year we were caught out by the weather and many hedging plants were kept unplanted for such a long time that they are far from flourishing. This year we have been more cautious by planting at the soonest opportunity.


The new hedge above consists of native hedging species, including Hazel, Blackthorn, Hawthorn, Dog Rose and Holly, among others. When it is established it should prove a habitat for a variety of wildlife.
