Also, the hedge is a perfect habitat for mammals and birds, as it gives them somewhere to shelter that is protected from the rain, wind and predators.
We already have bug houses on-site and we hope that some of the little bugs will find a new home in our dead hedge too. As the dead hedge rots away, beetles will munch away underneath and we’ll have a balanced eco-system where brambles will climb through over the top creating a live dead hedge!
The woodland and its surrounding area is a really a hive of activity, so come and enjoy this calming space in view of Elgar’s cottage all year round and explore the wonders of the outdoors.
