The Hampshire Hedge Project

This event is part of the wider Hampshire Hedge project, connecting up the New Forest and the South Downs National Parks with green corridor of hedgerows and wild spaces. Over a 3-year period (starting Autumn 2023) CPRE Hampshire will restore a network of 12 – 14 miles of hedgerows working with local communities, schools, landowners and farmers to manage existing hedgerows and plant new ones, connecting up copses and meadows along the way.

Hedgerows are an incredibly important landscape feature, forming the quintessential English countryside view, as well as important for much of our native wildlife, flood management and for the climate through carbon storage. We have lost half of our hedgerows since 1945 (lined up the loss of hedgerows amounts to a distance greater than the distance to the moon) and we are losing the skills to manage them well.
