Cuttle Brook Volunteers will be coppicing the hedge in Nontron meadow on Sunday. Visually, the work will look quite destructive, but the combination of coppicing and ‘beating up’ (filling in the gaps with new plants) will rejuvenate the hedge and stop it from dying back entirely, making it a much better resource for wildlife in the years to come.
The Cuttle Brook Volunteers group usually meets twice a month to share hands-on tasks such as mowing paths, building or maintaining boardwalks and bridges, creating seats, ‘laying’ hedges, protecting reed beds, tree planting, pollarding, pond digging and generally improving access for all.
They do whatever needs doing – physical but fun! If you would like to join please contact them by email: [email protected]
