Hedge planting (1)

David Hugill, local farmer and our council's climate champion, would welcome volunteers to help to plant a 300m hedge on his farm at Kirkby, lunch will be provided.

If you would like to do some hands on environmental action please send us a message, for us to pass on, to let him know whether you can make Saturday 21st and/or Saturday 28th February between 10.00 and 14.00 and let him know if you would like some food at lunchtime so he can plan ahead.

Planting hedges benefits the environment by fostering biodiversity, storing carbon and managing water runoff. They act as essential wildlife corridors, providing food and shelter for insects and birds. Hedges also prevent soil erosion, reduce flooding, and act as carbon sinks.
