Wirral Countryside Volunteers held their ninth free hedge
laying training day, opposite Barnstondale Camp, attracting 25 participants. They laid 60 metres of hedge.
The principle is easy... but the practice is more
complicated than it first seems. Skill
is required to create a well-constructed and flowing hedge, cutting the stems
thin enough so the hedge regrows from the base but not so thinly cut that the
stem dies. This event was supported by the Wirral Society, which is also the
local branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England.
