A coalition of farmers, environmentalists and volunteers are coming together to restore the UK’s hedgerows. The UK lost about 50% of these historic boundary lines following WWII. There is also national support; the UK government wants to add 45,000 miles of hedgerows by 2050. Will Fitzpatrick, a community engagement officer with The Tree Council, told The World’s Hannah Chanatry about why hedgerows play an important role in both climate resilience and cultural heritage.
