Twickenham Rough - Hedge Planting
With Richmond Weekday Projects
About 12.9 miles away from your postcode
At Twickenham Rough
Activity description
We will be planting tree whips to create a new hedgerow in Twickenham Rough. We will also be giving some TLC to last year's laid hedge (which is becoming overgrown by brambles), completing a site-wide litter pick, and creating a small dead hedge. Hedgerows are valuable habitats as they provide a dense and varied scrub for animals to nest and feed within. Hedgerows also provide a long, continuous, green corridor to aid the movement of species across greenspaces. This project was made possible with the support of a grant from The Tree Council and Network Rail's Community Tree Planting Fund received by Richmond Council.
