Today, hedgerows remain one of our most valuable yet misunderstood habitats. Healthy hedgerows provide great wildlife refuge and work for climate change mitigation storing more carbon per square km than trees. Once a cornerstone of traditional farming, hedge laying all but vanished from agricultural practice leaving a devastating impact on British wildlife.
The incredible Megan Gimber from People Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) will be in attendance to answer the big questions such as: Are routine trimmings harming health? Did barbed wire really render them obsolete?
This exciting talk will bring you closer to understanding the great benefits of this often-ignored habitat.
In this online seminar, they'll explore the following themes:
- The immense ecological and on-farm benefits of hedgerows
- Their incredible capacity to support wildlife at every level of the food chain
- Their deep-rooted history and cultural significance
- What species are thriving in the UK and what's under threat
- How evidence-led management can help hedgerows flourish
The session will offer new perspectives and tools to safeguard one of our most quietly heroic habitats-and all the creatures that call them home.
Who should attend?
This seminar is aimed at volunteers working for biodiversity, farmers considering management practices that benefit wildlife and any community groups passionate about nature.
