Great to see @DefraGovUK respond to hedgerow protection consultation. If existing Hedgerows Regulations (1997) are being amended for this, why not inc local landscape criterion to protect EVEN more hedgerows? @CPRE

[Defra UK @DefraGovUK]

We’re protecting English hedgerows in law, supporting the vital work many farmers already carry out to protect hedgerows.

The ecological benefits include:
🐦creating wildlife habitats,
🐝supporting crop pollinators
🌱absorbing carbon

'The story is really a eulogy to our landscapes, which would be bare and bereft of much interest and wildlife without the humble hedgerow'. 💚

Hedgerows are vital homes for dormice, but they are sadly one of our most vulnerable species. Better habitats for nature is just one of the reasons @CPRE wants 40% more hedgerows by 2050! #DormouseWeek #40by50 🐭🌳🌳🌳

[People's Trust for Endangered Species @PTES]

It's #DormouseWeek! 🌰🐭

💛 Help us raise awareness this week for one of Britain's most vulnerable and arguably, cutest, animals!

🐭 Learn and share facts about dormice and why they're important and see how you can get involved https://t.co/Y7F9dwWA8P
