Hedgerow Heroes (Avon and Bristol)

Our Hedgerow Heroes project centres around the planting and restoration of a large area of hedge within South Gloucestershire. This national project was launched in 2021 to support the campaign to achieve 4,000 more miles of hedgerow in the UK by 2050.

Planting and restoring hedgerows can prevent soil erosion, increase biodiversity by providing wildlife habitat for many species of birds, insects, butterflies and small mammals and can increase the overall aesthetic appeal of a landscape.

CPRE Avon and Bristol are working with South Gloucestershire Council to improve the current state and management of council-owned hedgerows over 2022-23. We are looking for committed volunteers to help with practical work to improve these hedgerows throughout the upcoming autumn/winter.

Through volunteering with us you will be helping to look after our fantastic countryside and ensuring the success of this vital project for CPRE Avon and Bristol.

There is more detail in the role description of the range of tasks you might get involved with.
