★ Murder of a hedgerow ★

Credit WNFC ....."A member noticed a local earthen bank-hedgerow that was just recently full of wildflowers such as Cornsalad, Herb Robert, Creeping Buttercup, Mouse-ear, Common Vetch, Scarlet Pimpernels, and others, had been needlessly annihilated by toxic spray. Gone are the lovely wildflowers as well as the pollinators and other insects and birds that feed there. We really must do better and stop the reckless use of such poisons. Though not needed, strimming would have been a more sustainable solution for this domestic property boundary. The thing is too that these earthen banks need the plant rooting systems to hold them together and function effectively as a boundary. Without these binding root systems the bank will erode and crumble in time. "

Wexford County Council proposed Biodiversity Action Plan sets out a number of actions to address such needless harm.
