To silence the anxiety (I mean, look around you!) I laid a bit more hedge. Sadly I only had a couple of hours between obligations but just the act of looking, cutting, laying quiets the noise for a few moments. And, I’m doing something to benefit the future. A managed hedge is a habitat for birds and animals, it’s a carbon sink, it’s an environmentally friendly barrier, it increases local biodiversity, and it even keeps the local temperatures moderated. What’s not to love.

When to plant a hedge
The best time to plant a hedge is when the saplings are dormant during winter, from November to March.

US troops make their way through narrow sunken lanes - July 1944, Normandy, France. Most fields only had one gated entrance and were surrounded by high hedgerows, which made them ideal for German ambushes #ww2 #worldwar2 #bocage #hedgerows #normandy #normandie #france #usarmy #history

A very obvious take away:
the importance of leaving #hedgerows and #nature be.
Stop tidying nature.
Stop decimating hedgerows.
Wild creatures need wild spaces all year round.
Nature provides.
If we allow her.
Simple!
