A dry hedge is one of the oldest forms of barriers used in Britain. Typically made from upright stakes of wood and filled with horizontal pruning’s like leaves and twigs. The dry hedge is protecting the remaining trunk of a once-mighty Copper Beech.
This partially dead tree is a vital food source for wildlife, including beetles and fungi that nourish other insects. The hedge will shield the tree from Geese and encourage the growth of native riverbank plants, boosting biodiversity and creating a vibrant ecosystem
