Derwent Reservoir: Hedgerow Planting (Thu 12 March 2009)

The Low Barns Volunteer Task Force

12th March 2009

The Hit Squad planted a mixed hedgerow around the car park at the Derwent Reservoir Visitor Centre. It just looks like a mass of squiggly tree shelters at the moment, but soon there'll be a wildlife friendly hedge of blackthorn and hawthorn with a little oak, alder, rowan and hazel thrown in.

Canes are spaced at 1m intervals to help space out the plants 2009-03-12 11:02:57	Making progress 2009-03-12 11:03:27	The hedgerow takes shape 2009-03-12 11:56:24	The Low Barns minibus watches and listens and misses nothing 2009-03-12 11:56:34
