The hedge runs from the top of the park from Cressingham Gardens right down the western perimeter (Tulse Hill side) to Brixton Water Lane. The benefits of the hedge include: pollination enrichment, small bird sanctuary and food provision, small mammal protection and migration route.
TCV work begins at 10.00am every day, starting from where we finishing laying the hedge last year, on the perimeter hedge line opposite the third pond (Tulse Hill side), and working our way north to the Arlingford Rd entrance this winter.
As well as laying the hedge, we will also be gapping up any spaces in the hedge with new native whips, and mulching the hedge line, and then erecting temporary post and stock wire fencing to protect the young trees/new shoots as they grow from the cut pleachers.
TCV also has other associated works taking place during the winter, such as coppicing and collecting the hazel stakes and binders from King’s Wood in Selsdon for use in the hedge, so please go to our webpage for more information if you are interested in attending any of these projects:
