Participants
learnt the ancient skill of hedge laying this Saturday (28th Nov) at Diamond Jubilee Wood, Whitehead as part of National Tree Week. Hedge
laying is the practice of partly cutting through each stem close to ground
level, so the stem can be bent over without breaking and continues to grow. The
stems are laid and staked into place where necessary to stabilise the hedge.
This rejuvenates hedges and encourages new growth, ensuring a stock-proof
boundary.
