Hedgerow Survey
From 8th September Open Air Laboratories (OPAL) is asking people all over England to help uncover new insights into the country’s hedges so that the condition of these important habitats can be mapped for conservation. The OPAL Biodiversity Survey, led by The Open University, aims to find out more about the importance of hedges to nature by asking people to identify the insects that live in them and record what they find.

If you want to plant a hedge – which is one of the best things you can do for wildlife – the time to do it is in the winter months when the plants are dormant. For advice on planting, see:
