About this Event
Help us rejuvanate hedgerows in South Gloucestershire through the traditional craft of hedgelaying! We will be hedgelaying 100m of the hedgerow this winter, joining up with where we began hedgelaying on site in 2022.
Please note this is not a formal training session, but beginners are welcome to join . We are usually able to pair beginners up with more experienced volunteers so that you can learn as you go.

About Hedgerow Heroes
At CPRE Avon and Bristol we have an ambition to create/restore 10km hedgerow by CPRE’s centenary year in 2026. Over the last 3 years we have achieved 5.85km of our target, which wouldn’t have been possible without the fantastic work of volunteers. This winter our Hedgerow Heroes project continues to grow bigger and better, now taking place across the counties of South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset, and North Somerset.
Planting and restoring hedgerows can prevent soil erosion, increase biodiversity by providing wildlife habitat for many species of birds, insects, butterflies and small mammals and can increase the overall aesthetic appeal of a landscape.
We still need your help!
