Hedgerows Survey

We are continuing with a project to record
all the hedges in the county ...

We have been working with Warwickshire Wildlife Trust for some time to record all the hedges in the county. We have now recorded over 500 hedges. This is a very long job because it is necessary to record the number of plant species in each hedge in order to determine how important it is.

Involving Young People

A special training is planned for 16th June 2010, when 60 young volunteers 16 to 19 years old will attend with their own leaders who will be responsible for them.  This organised by Be Involved, a Youth Volunteer Organisation.


Training

Training in identification of hedgerow plant identification has been given to a number of volunteers and they have spent many days on the task. The purpose of each day is to equip volunteers with the skills to undertake basic hedgerow surveying . We also hope that it will be an interesting, fun and entertaining day where you will be able to meet new people and learn about the countryside in general.

Please make sure you bring suitable outdoor clothes as part of the day will be held outside. Please also bring a note book and pencil.

Next Training Session

Hedges are a vital part of our landscape. We see them in various states of management from the newly planted to ones which have been uprooted as past redemption - of course we want them replanted soon. The different styles of cutting and laying add to the interest of the great range of species growing in the hedges.

Also we value the plants, insects and other animals which live at the feet of the hedges. These vary through the seasons and add to the varying experience.
