Grant applications for hedge laying restoration have become one of the four most popular categories in a £225m government funding scheme. If approved, 2,500 farmers will lay 1,300km of mature hedgerows—enough to stretch from Land's End to Hadrian's Wall and back.

“Hedge laying really stopped after the war, so it has been over a generation since it was a normal part of farm management and we have seen a huge decline in hedgerows as a result.”
