Suitable for beginners and those wishing to improve their skills, this accessible course introduces the traditional craft of hedge laying.
Spend the day on the farm learning both the theory and practical techniques behind this important rural skill, which helps regenerate and restore valuable hedgerow habitats.
During the course you will learn about the history and importance of hedge laying, gain practical experience using traditional methods, learn how to safely use the common tools required, and understand the role hedgerows play in modern farming and biodiversity.
At the end of the day, you’ll take home your own handcrafted walking stick, cut and shaped from the hedgerow.
