Hedgerows

We protect hedgerows across North Somerset.

They form important habitats and corridors for wildlife.

Since 2005 the Biodiversity Action Grant scheme has funded the creation of 4km of new species-rich hedgerows. These are defined as containing five or more woody species per 30m.

We also deal with applications from landowners who wish to remove hedgerows as formal consent is required for hedgerow removal on field boundaries under the Hedgerows Regulations.

For more information about hedgerow regulations contact Archaeology services.
