Hi Harriet and Mike,
Welcome!

Kate, An interesting question! Does anyone have information about the increase (or otherwise) in bird, mammal, insect species after hedgelaying?
Hedges are great providers of natural corridors for flora and fauna movement, and hence conectivity between various habitats as well as providing nesting space, shelter, food and safe havens for a multitude of creatures. I would have thought by laying a hedge then subsequently creating an ‘A’ profile the number of species using it would increase dramatically but I don’t actually know. Could anyone provide information or links?

Thanks Paul. Looks interesting. This is a lovely heather-based heathland in Shropshire of which parts are being restored back to heathland from coniferous woodland. I wonder what habitat changes have been seen here through the ages? Maybe someone on the forum knows the history of the area well? My interest in all things geological has taken me up to the quartzites on several occasions. Stunning wildlife, flowers and views to be had. Great place.

Hi Tammy,

Yes it would be great to meet up again and try to gel the group a little by possibly viewing/visiting one of our own habitats or indeed one which comes recommended. Suggestions are welcome from everyone!
