“The Management Lifecycle of a Hedge” by Nigel Adams

The 4th and final Hedgerow Webinar

“No hedge stays the same for ever. A hard cut, short hedge will start to fade away, and a tall hedge may eventually collapse or develop into a line of trees. Effectively every hedge goes through a life cycle, and good hedge management should recognize this.”

Nigel has has given talks for likes of Kew gardens and Oxfordshire Forestry Group, amongst many others, and has led many hedgerow management training days for Natural England, Peoples Trust For Endangered Species, The Tree Council, FWAG and local wildlife trusts, all with the view of using education and experienced practical advice to improve the condition of our hedgerows and make their future sustainable.

Hedge-laying and management is an ancient craft and therefore also somewhat of a dark art to get right. Over the years, Nigel has become an expert, understanding the importance of our hedgerows for both landowners and wildlife. Through his extensive and varied experience of managing the countryside and teaching others, Nigel believes land managers are keen to improve their land for wildlife and the landscape.
