Healthy hedgerows in the UK countryside Picture: Megan Gimber/PTES A WILDLIFE charity has launched a new ‘Healthy Hedgerows’ app, aimed at farmers and land managers who want to grow the healthiest of hedges. Designed for farmers, landowners and land managers, the free app from the People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) enables users to find out where hedges are within their natural lifecycle and offers instant feedback on how they can be best managed to ensure their continued health. Trying to manage hedgerows according to their quite complex lifecycle, especially across a whole farm, is a challenge. This app strips away these complexities and simply asks just six easy questions to rapidly assess each hedge, making the task of creating a farm scale management plan much easier.
