Look how our Trees and Hedgerows are thriving..
It's double the fun this week as we're also celebrating #NationalHedgerowWeek ! 🌳
Hedges are essential for wildlife and when they're connected they act as corridors for animals to move across the landscape. Many animals like dormice, bats and hedgehogs all depend on hedgerows.
Did you know that from 5 - 11 May is #HedgehogAwarenessWeek ! With National Hedgerow Week also starting tomorrow, we wanted to share just how important hedgerows are for hedgehogs. Hedgerows allow hedgehogs to move freely between habitats, provide shelter, food and much more! 🦔
We’re celebrating #NationalHedgerowWeek with The Tree Council
Hedgerows are the UK’s most widespread semi-natural landscape, providing a home for more than 2,000 species! 🦇

Queen of the hedgerows has to be Queen Anne’s Lace, Cow Parsley or - as my mum used to call it in Northamptonshire - Keck. Whatever you call it, it’s fabulous #HedgerowChallenge #wildflowerhour wildflowerhour BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland

Did you know bats use natural features like hedgerows and rivers to navigate and protect themselves? These landmarks help them find their way during night flights. #NationalHedgerowWeek
Billowing white clouds of Cow Parsley or Queen Anne's Lace (Anthriscus sylvestris) lining the hedgerows yesterday evening at sunset. May is definitely my favourite month!

Happy #MothMonday ! We're already hearing reports of Muslin moths (Diaphora mendica) being spotted this month 🤩
These fuzzy moths can be found in many open habitats, including sand-dunes, gardens, downland and hedgerows.
