Hedge Laying Sees Revival Among English Farmers Seeking Carbon Capture and Flood Control

Ancient hedgerow restoration technique surges in popularity as farmers tap government grants for environmental benefits.

· 1 min de lecture · langue: en

Hedge laying, a centuries-old craft that restores mature hedges, is experiencing renewed interest among English farmers. According to The Guardian, the technique ranked among the four most popular categories of capital grants selected by farmers from a £225 million government fund allocated this year for environmental improvements.

Farmers cite multiple motivations for adopting the practice, which involves restoring hedges using methods that peaked during the 18th and 19th centuries. Benefits attributed to hedge laying include boosting wildlife habitat, capturing carbon, and reducing flood risk.
