Woodland and hedgerow creation, Wales

By funding this project you are contributing to their work. You will receive impact reports and measurements but you won't receive a carbon credit.

This abandoned farmhouse and smallholding is being restored to benefit wildlife, food production, and the local economy. A woodland block is being planted at one end, a shelterbelt to block the wind is being planted along the road, and hedging filling the remaining borders. The hedgerow is 125 metres in total, with 600 hedging plants, with the following native species Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Guelder Rose, Hazel, and Alder Buckthorn.

Enhancing tree and hedgerow cover in the UK is crucial for removing carbon from the atmosphere, reducing the risk of flooding during heavy downpours and enhancing air quality. This project is particularly important to fund because it is much harder to attract funding for hedgerow creation even though hedgerows are just as important as woodland for sequestering carbon and supporting nature, for some species even more important because they often link small woods so are essential corridors along which wildlife can travel.
