Theme for 2025 : The Future of Hedgerows
While the government’s Environmental Improvement Plan set ambitious targets to create 45,000 miles of new or restored hedgerow by 2050, sources of funding to support management of existing hedges, and the laying of new ones are uncertain. As good hedgerow management is so dependent on traditional skills and crafts, it’s vital that pathways exist for passionate people to pursue green careers to ensure that hedgerows thrive for generations to come.
National Hedgerow Week resources include online talks, resource pack, library guide and more.
