What have hedgerows ever done for us? (And what we can do for them in return)
10th February 2022 1900- 2030.
As part of the Dormouse Reintroduction Programme PTES began to get interested in hedgerow surveys as a way to quantify habitat quality between local reintroduction sites. This has developed into a much larger project with PTES managing the Great British Hedgerow Survey. This survey assesses the current state of the hedge and provides management advice for the landowner. Hedgerow Officer, Megan Gimber will be delivering an excellent talk about this project.
