Hedgerow Heroes (Bath and North East Somerset)

Our Hedgerow Heroes project centres around the planting and restoration of hedgerows within 2 Avon and Bristol counties, including Bath and North East Somerset. 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.

We are looking for committed volunteers to help survey sections of hedgerow over the summer, and 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.
