Shropshire Wildlife Trust

Hedgerows make excellent habitats for wildlife, animals nest in them , others feed from them and some use them to navigate.

Although it is a little late in the season to be planting a hedgerow the children in the Eco club were committed to providing the shrubs the necessary care such as regular watering.

Hawthorn, hazel and field maple were among the species planted and watered in. This involved digging a trench, finding the root collar and firming the saplings in.

Of course we discovered lots of worms and even a pill millipede whilst we were digging!
