Description

Hedgelaying is a traditional form of hedgerow management. It rejuvenates the hedge keeping it strong and healthy, and forms an attractive natural alternative to wooden or wire fencing. It is also very important in helping to maintain biodiversity.

This course is delivered over 2 days to enable participants to practise laying a hedge, whilst working as part of a group, which may then be developed through further study. It covers carrying out any site/hedge preparation tasks, the pleaching process, staking and binding,trimming the hedge and tidying the site before leaving.
