National Park volunteers spent a day planting hawthorn, hazel, rowan, birch and oak along the hedge line with stakes and protectors to help them grow and protect them from rabbits. hedgehogs and newts.” Trees and hedges are best planted in the winter months, with the nal plants and seeds of the Queen’s Green Canopy being sown by March. Elsewhere on the site the Trust has already planted a new hedge on the northern boundary linking an existing hedge with adjacent woodland. e roadside hedge had declined in recent years. Much of it was elm which has declined throughout England because of Dutch Elm disease. Where it survives the Trust have started layering the plants in an e ort to keep this species alive. Trustee of the New Forest Trust Diana Westerho said: “Once grown, the new hedgerow will fill a gap previously overtaken by bracken along the boundary of the site and will help our wildlife for generations to come. This project demonstrates a perfect example of collaborative partnership work across the New Forest. We would like to thank the volunteers for their hard work, alongside The Woodland Trust which provided the plants as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy project and The Tree Management Company for contributing the chippings.” Planting new hedgerow to honour the late Queen e ground was then covered in chippings to stop aggressive weeds competing with the new planting. Paul Walton, the National Park Authority’s Head of Environment and Rural Economy, said: “Hedges are a vital part of the countryside’s ecosystem, offering berries and nuts for wildlife whilst also providing a protective corridor for animals to move between habitats. A healthy hedgerow will be rich in species, including native shrubs and can provide bird nesting sites as well as a home for some of our rarer animals including Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman at The Art House Twice winners of BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Duo, Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman grace the stage at e Art House, 178 Above Bar Street, Southampton, SO14 7DW on Sunday 26th March.
