Hedge Trimming

Protect our wild birds!

Please avoid trimming the hedges during the nesting season for wild birds – March to August. This is not only a policy favoured by the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) but, in many instances, is a legal requirement on properties such as allotments.

Thank you for your cooperation.
