Kingston Uni Hill Campus - Hedgelaying
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
At Kingston University Hill Campus
Activity description
We will be working at the Kingston University Hill Campus to lay a section of young hedgerow. We will be joined by some of the onsite staff. Hedge laying is a traditional technique used to create living fences or boundaries by cutting and laying hedge tree stems to promote dense vegetation growth. Whilst hedge laying is still used for this reason across the UK, in urban areas it is also utilised to create dense, biodiverse, green corridors and refugia for animals.
