From the Western Morning News

A fascinating piece on hedge-laying, apparently a dying art. Hedges are described as mini-nature reserves,home to "600 plant species, 1,500 types of insects,60 species of birds and 20 different mammals." Like everything that is good Britain, hedgerows are in danger of going away. http://www.thisisdevon.co.uk/Traditional-country-craft-hedge-laying-enjoying/story-18502518-detail/story.html#axzz2ON0QIXDP
