What have hedgerows ever done for us?

Talk by Megan Gimber

At the meeting on 4th Oct 2023 we heard a talk by Megan Gimber from The People’s Trust for Endangered Species.

What have hedgerows ever done for us? And what we can do for them in return?

Some things are better joined up, like hedgerows. And so is our approach to hedgerow conservation. You are invited to join us for an online discussion about hedgerows; why they are so valuable to wildlife, to the environment and to our farming, and what we can be doing to ensure they thrive in the future.

Megan has been working for People’s Trust for Endangered Species since 2015. Specialising in habitat conservation, she developed and now manages their two hedgerow surveys, The Great British Hedgerow Survey and Healthy Hedgerows.

Megan runs training courses and hedgerow walks for volunteer groups and farm cluster groups across the country, promoting the many virtues of hedgerows and how best we can look after them. A proper hedge geek, in her spare time she can often be found by a hedge, a good tree, in an orchard, or on Twitter (@FavColour_Green) chatting about hedges, trees and orchards..
