Dead-hedging 6 October 2025
On 6, October despite the yellow warnings of wind, a group of volunteers together with council ranger Louise met to continue the work of establishing a dead hedge along the Copgrove Road edge of the Wood. The hedge consists of stakes driven into the ground about 2 metres apart in a one metre wide double row. This is then filled with dead branches and twigs picked up from within the wood. We managed to double the length of the dead hedge which forms a barrier and a haven for wildlife. Luckily the wind speeds lessened and the sun even came out briefly.
Many thanks to Laura and Guy who hosted the tea and coffee break in their garage.
