Could you be a Hedgerow Hero?
Hedgerow Heroes, run by CPRE Shropshire, the countyside charity, is on the hunt for hedge planting volunteers this winter to help get planting!
The Hedgerow Heroes project is now in its fourth year and we are as ambitious as ever, looking to plant more than 5km of new, native mixed species hedgerow into the Shropshire countryside.
Hedges, sensitively managed, are fantastic for farms and for nature too, being wildlife corridors linking up habitat across our beautiful county. Our planting sessions last from 10am to around 1pm and are usually in beautiful locations.
An experienced volunteer lead will show you the ropes. We provide spades. Suitable for families and people of all ages (children must be accompanied by an adult). Hedge planting is fun and very satisfying and gives you a chance to meet like-minded people doing something really practical and hands-on in our lovely county of Shropshire.
