Hedgerow Survey Morning 13 June

Learn how to ID hedgerow trees and survey hedges

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.
