Hedgerow Survey Morning 4 October

Learn how to ID hedgerow trees and survey hedges

We’ve teamed up with The Melbreak Communities Group to deliver a hedgerow survey training day in High Lorton, Cockermouth. You will be spending the morning learning how to survey hedgerows and ID tree and plant species within the hedge. You’ll also learn the difference between a good and bad hedgerow, and their wildlife and livestock benefits. This training is mandatory if you want to take part in our Hedges & Edges Survey project.
