SUMMARY:Hedgelaying Course
DESCRIPTION:This one-day practical course will offer a beginner-friendly introduction to hedgelaying ‘Midlands-style’ using hand tools. You’ll learn everything from preparing a hedge for laying\, to ‘pleaching’ stems\, building stems into stakes and finally weaving binders. \n\nTraditional hedgelaying is one of the many ways we can support nature recovery. It creates a dense\, long-lasting habitat that offers birds safe nesting sites and significantly reduces predation risks. Hedges also establish vital\, continuous wildlife corridors that allow small mammals\, amphibians\, and reptiles to travel securely between fragmented landscapes. Additionally\, the rejuvenated plants boost biodiversity by providing a year-round food source of nectar\, berries\, and insects for pollinators\, birds\, and bats. \n\nAll tools and PPE required to safely participate in this course will be provided. You are also welcome to bring your own equipment if it’s suitable for the tasks. \n\n\nPlease bring your own lunch\, snacks and plenty of water.\nWear warm and waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear.\n\nMeet at The Fold car park for a prompt start at 10am. We will finish at 4pm. \n\nThere are only 8 places available to ensure you receive excellent support during this course. Please book soon to avoid disappointment. \n\nAbout the tutor:Laura is a traditional Hedgelayer and Coppicer based in Malvern. She has a degree in Ecology and Conservation Biology and has worked for a number of conservation organisations- The Heart of England Forest\, Worcestershire Wildlife Trust and Natural England. Laura’s passion for hedgerows and woodlands led her set up “Laura’s Woodcraft”\, a business specialising in traditional hedgelaying and coppice wood products. She has delivered a number of hedgelaying training courses in the West Midlands and is passionate about sharing this heritage craft with people
