Walk along a hedgerow

Many of our native trees and shrubs can be found growing in hedgerows. The small % of our land area that is covered in native trees is widely documented, but trees and shrubs in these linear features are often forgotten about, yet they add significantly to the overall resource. Crucially, they often link together other woodland habitats, and provide a rich source of food for birds throughout the winter as they provide protection from grazing to a wide variety of flowering and seeding plants.

All the trees, shrubs and woody plants below were recorded in a walk along a 100 metre stretch of hedgerow.
