2019 Year of Green Action
2019 is the Year of Green Action and the Devon Hedge Group are keen to promote Hedge related activities through the whole year, hopefully having at least one event every month. During the winter months there are plenty of opportunities for practical hedge management events. During the summer there are good opportunities for looking at the great variety of wildlife associated with Devon hedges. During the autumn how about focussing on the food value of hedges, both for wildlife and for humans!
