On Sunday 3rd March 2024 the Hyndburn’s Woodlands Volunteers teamed up with the TreeACTION Project to plant a 60 metre long hedgerow bordering between the Whinney Hill entrance ginnel and the Cricket Club.
We planted a Hawthorn hedgerow to act as a barrier for the cricket club, while providing winter forage for birds and small mammals. The hedgerow will be maintained in the future years to continually promote its growth.
In future years, the hedgerow will offer an opportunity for a hedge-laying activity.
Thank you to our volunteers for helping us improve local biodiversity and site security.
Activity funded by Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, and the Windfall Fund.
