Paul Heath leads the Chiltern Society's Rough Around the Hedges volunteer group which is focused on better management and rejuvenation of Chilterns native hedgerows. Paul will talk about the importance of our hedges for biodiversity and the environment and explain his group’s work in the heritage art of hedgelaying. This talk has been organised by Wild Amersham and is being hosted at Amersham Museum. www.sustainableamersham.org
Hedgelaying, where living trees and shrubs are carefully cut or “pleached”, then laid at an angle to form a dense barrier, has been practiced since as least as far back as the 16th century. The pleached tree stems then sprout new vertical stems from the cut base and the angled trunks to increase the bushiness of the hedge. With some additional staking and binding, the hedge not only becomes stockproof, but provides a better habitat for wildlife. The laid hedge is a safer corridor for small mammals and birds to move around, feed and nest. Benefits translate to the wider environment too.
