# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Hedge Laying at North Hinksey Nature Reserve
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 23 Nov, 2025 at 09:15 am – Sun, 23 Nov, 2025 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Dear Nature Volunteers,

We first laid the hedge which divides the orchard from the meadow at the North Hinksey Nature Reserve in 2015. It was laid again in 2020, and now, five years later, is ready to be laid once more. Each successive laying requires more improvisation on the part of the hedge layer to keep the intended regrowth as close to the ground as possible so as to widen the base of the hedge and thicken its width. 

We'll be harvesting stakes and binders from today's work to use next week at Kirtlington where we've a hedge to lay of a completely different character. If there are enough of us we'll also coppice some of the smaller trees on site and pollard the willows around the pond.

WANT TO BECOME A VOLUNTEER LEADER OR DRIVER? 
We're short of task leaders at the moment and we can't carry on without them. 

Some of our tasks are much easier to lead than others, so if you're a regular volunteer please consider stepping up to do a bit of leading. Any of the task leaders will be happy to let you shadow them until you're confident you know the ropes.  If you are interested, please get in touch - we need more leaders.
