Devon Hedges: Managing Them Today

Devon hedges are incredibly important for biodiversity. Dating back 800 years they support thousands of species, including flowering plants, insects, birds and mammals. They prevent soil erosion, reduce surface runoff and shelter crops and livestock – but how are they managed today? 

Join Tom Hynes who will share with us hedge management options that benefit both wildlife and the landscape, and are affordable.
