GuideBriefing Sheet: Hedgerows
Summary
An exploration of the benefits hedgerows provide the surrounding environment and the impacts of hedgerow management
Abstract
The environmental value of hedgerows is now well recognised, but media reports often allude to their loss across the countryside, with the impression that this is both ongoing and also the cause of wildlife declines. This briefing sheet explores the importance of hedgerows to the landscape and its wildlife, earlier losses, and current trends in the UK, along with the impact of hedgerow management.
