National Hedgerow Week 2025 with Nicky Tranter Tree Care

We have teamed up with our friends at Nicky Tranter Tree Care to celebrate National Hedgerow Week from the 5 – 11 May 2025.

Below is information provided about this years theme:

The Future of Hedgerows

While the Government’s Environmental Improvement Plan set ambitious targets to create 45,000 miles of new or restored hedgerow by 2050, sources of funding to support management of existing hedges, and the laying of new ones are uncertain. As good hedgerow management is so dependent on traditional skills and crafts, it’s vital that pathways exist for passionate people to pursue green careers to ensure that hedgerows thrive for generations to come.

Join us this National Hedgerow Week: let’s work together to secure a bright future for these crucial habitats.

Libraries across the country will be hosting hedgerow themed displays and events for children this National Hedge Week. One of the key topics in the the Future of Hedgerow Trees is living with ash dieback, a blight that is rapidly spreading.
