A Cut Above The Rest DVD
Management is the single biggest influence on the condition of our hedgerows, and this DVD looks closely at all the options available. It recognises the life cycle of a hedge, exploring the many different types of hedges that occur and encourages the landowner to ‘read’ a hedge before deciding on a course of action.
The advice offered in this DVD will help us keep our rich hedgerow heritage healthy and relevant to the modern world, and offer our hedges a brighter future. ‘A Cut Above The Rest’ is available as a DVD free from Natural England’s Enquiry Service. Telephone: 0845 600 3078 enquiries@naturalengland.org.uk This DVD was produced by the Rural Media Company, with funding from the CPRE, Department for Food, Environment and Rural Affairs, National Hedgelaying Society, Natural England, RSPB and The Tree Council.
Alternatively you can view the DVD on our management page.
