How to Create a Dead Hedge | Green your Neighbourhood

Dead hedges are a great way of turning your hedge and vegetation trimmings into a feature as well as a valuable habitat for wildlife. They attract a variety of invertebrates, as well as providing a place for birds to roost and hedgehogs to hide in. What's more, they're really simple to create! Lorna Griffiths from ‪@NottsWildlifeTrust‬ talks us through the few simple steps you need to take to create your very own dead hedge in your community space or garden. We'll be sharing even more films like this as part of our Green Your Neighbourhood campaign, so please like and subscribe to stay updated and become part of the #GreenYourNeighbourhood movement! 💚 Find out more about how to Green your Neighbourhood on our website: https://wildlifegardenproject.com/gre...
