Hedge-Laying with Basingstoke Conservation Volunteers

At Lamb’s Hill in Worting, BCV will be continuing hedge laying from where they finished off last winter – about 50 metres! They first laid this hedge over 20 years ago, and there is scrub-bashing to be done to gain access along the hedge-line and thinning out poor quality and excess growth prior to doing the actual hedge-laying. Hedge-laying is a traditional method for managing farm boundaries so they are stock-proof. It is also very good for producing a hedge which is very dense at the base, good for small birds to nest in and for lots of other wildlife, so it’s something we wish to encourage.
