This British website focuses on hedges (or hedgerows) in the United Kingdom, which are home to mammals, birds, amphibians, invertebrates, and plant life. Visitors should go to the "About Hedgelink" link to learn that cooperation is needed between farmers, land managers, planners, environmentalists, and local communities to maintain these unique habitats. The "Hedge-ucation" link on the left hand menu offers materials for students and teachers that are suitable for the "countryside and classroom." There is a "Virtual Farm Walk" for children which teaches them about the hedgerows on a farm. Visitors will also want to look at the educational package aimed at 7-11 year olds called "Hedgerows", which can be found in the link "hedgerows homepage" at the bottom of the "Hedge-ucation" link. The link to "Research and Surveys" also offers a great way for visitors to see the many issues surrounding hedgerow conservation, simply by looking at all the titles of the surveys that have been done to support hedgerow research.
