A place in The Homeland Project
The Hedges
The story so far
Our hedgerows are living boundaries, providing shelter, food and vital wildlife corridors for birds, bees, insects and small mammals. We're working to protect and strengthen them with native species, while carefully managing their growth through seasonal pruning, planting and maintenance. Our roadside hedges also need sensitive cutting by tractor to keep routes safe without disturbing the wildlife that calls them home. With your support, we can care for these wonderful natural habitats, encourage biodiversity and ensure our hedgerows remain healthy, thriving places for nesting birds, pollinators and generations of wildlife to come.
What your support will do
- Plant native hedgerow species to strengthen and extend our wildlife corridors
- Purchase young plants, tree guards, stakes and planting materials
- Protect nesting birds, bees, butterflies and other wildlife habitats
- Cover sensitive tractor cutting and maintenance along our roadside boundaries
- Provide tools and equipment for seasonal pruning and hedge care
- Manage hedgerows responsibly, allowing flowers, berries and habitats to flourish
- Cover the time and labour needed for planting, watering, cutting back and ongoing care
- Create thriving natural boundaries that support biodiversity and connect wildlife habitats across the land
