Hedging courses seem increasingly popular – and I spotted this one being run by Cwm Arian in Tegryn, Llafyrnach. The focus is on hedge restoration, laying and care. The cost is £280 for the four days – each one on a consecutive weekend.
Course Summary
A comprehensive four day course, spread over four separate weekends to provide a combination of hands on and covering essential aspects of hedge restoration/resurrection.
This course will help course participants to appreciate the functional, environmental, ecological and visual benefits of hedgerow restoration and give them the basic skills and confidence to give it a go themselves.
• The course will provide hedgelaying tools and instruction – we will be using billhooks and saws for the work. The following PPE will be provided: eye protection and hand protection.
• Course students are strongly recommended to provide their own steel toe-capped footwear – but other sturdy footwear advised if students do not own steel toe caps. Waterproof and thornproof outerwear also strongly advised.
– Course students should bring their own food for the day (please note there is no shop nearby). Hot drinks will be provided during the day, but please bring a flask and your own mug if possible.
As at the time of posting this there are 6 places still available.
