Hedge Laying in Greenane

Part of our Pollination corridor runs along the Blueway through an area called Greenane. Following on from aworkshop which reawakened some old half forgotten skills in a couple of our volunteers, we set about exploringthe possibility of laying the Hawthorn hedge that lines the Blueway along Greenane. We had an educationalmorning showing the other volunteers all we had learned. The subsequent laying has proved to be a greatsuccess. Going forward we plan to lay the whole hedge. We met with the Community Water Officer and discussedusing this river side hedge to promote the importance of strong biodiverse planting in flood areas and themaintenance of such planting.
