Hedgerow Heroes (No experience required!)

Our Hedgerow Heroes project this winter centres around the planting and restoration of large areas of hedge in Crich, Draycott, Shirland and Smalley. 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. There is flexibility as to what you'll be doing, and this will be discussed with you when you apply. If you have any questions, please email us at committee@cprederbyshire.org.uk.
