On the farm: Hedgerow Heroes

Join a relaxed walk at Blackmoor Farm to discover the superpowers of hedgerows!

We'll be exploring what makes hedges such important wildlife corridors, discovering more about the heritage of hedgerows as well as their current management and associated countryside skills, and finding out what makes a hedgerow 'healthy'.

There'll be opportunities to gain/practice your tree species identification skills and have a go at some simple hedgerow surveying.

Plus, hear how the CPL project's regenerative farmers are working to ensure they hand over healthy hedgerows to the next generation
