Could you be a HEDGEROW HERO? *
This coming winter is the 5th year of our Hedgerow Heroes project and we're looking for more sites to work at.
If you're planning to plant a new hedgerow of 50m or more, or have an old hedgerow in need of some rejuvenation then get in touch and maybe we can help!
We'll give priority to sites with public access and good connectivity between habitats, but we welcome enquiries from all.
Just send an email with your idea, including a map and some photos of the location and we'll be in touch.

KEEP GOING! 👏

We've had an incredible response to our Crowdfunder with the total almost doubling in the last week! 🌱

All donations are matched by the Aviva Foundation Community Fund, meaning double the impact for local biodiversity, for local communities and for building climate resilience into local landscapes.

We've run our Hedgerow Heroes project for the last 4 years and we'd love to make year 5 the biggest and best yet, as part of CPRE's Centenary celebrations. 🎉

Please donate if you're able to and share far and wide to help support our vital hedgerows!
