Hedgerow management in Suffolk and Essex
Sam can help with all aspects of hedgerow management, from advice and capital grant applications, to practical management like hedgecutting, coppicing and laying.
Properly managed hedgerows have huge potential when it comes to carbon sequestration, biodiversity and productivity.
By bringing new and old hedges into a proper management cycle, they can become stockproof boundaries, sources of firewood and woodchip for composting or mulching, lock up more carbon by making better use of 3D space when laid, and offer a different type of habitat to wildlife.
Sam was taught to lay hedges in the South of England style by a man called Richard King, and uses East Anglian hazel and willow for the staking and binding.
The hedgelaying that Sam offers is fully compliant with capital items BN5: Hedgerow laying and BN10: Hedgerow supplement - top binding and staking.
