Hedgerow Heroes (Melbourne - Borrowash - Clay Cross)

Our Hedgerow Heroes project centres around the planting and restoration of a large area of hedge in Derbyshire. This national campaign was launched in 2021 to extend the UK hedgerows network by 40% 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.

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

We provide out-of-pocket travel expenses should this be required.

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