Hedgerows are not (just) for keeping the livestock secure. Join Friends of the Lake District to discover the many ways hedges can benefit your farm, wildlife and the wider environment, and discuss what management approaches help them live up to their impressive potential, from planting all the way to rejuvenation. We’ll discuss the value of assessing hedges, available funding for hedges and how to create a 10-year hedge management plan for your farm. Booking essential.
A limited number of places are available on this event as part of the Cumbria Ecoskills programme of introductory and CPD courses. Please state 'Cumbria Ecoskills' in the 'how did you hear of this event?' text box.
