Hedgerow Heroes needed! Get hands-on with hedges in Crich, Derbyshire!

Do you want to be a Hedgerow Hero and help us restore and plant new hedgerows in Crich?

As part of CPRE’s 2026 centenary celebrations, CPRE – the Countryside Charity have committed to deliver a total of 100 miles of new and restored hedgerows across the country. Planting and restoring hedgerows can prevent soil erosion, increase biodiversity by providing wildlife habitat for many species of birds, insects, butterflies and small mammals and can increase the overall aesthetic appeal of a landscape. Through volunteering you will be helping to look after our fantastic countryside and ensure the success of this vital project in Derbyshire.

The hedgerow planting days in Crich run from 24th Nov – 28th November 9.30 a.m. – 3.00 p.m. at 4 sites close to the village centre. Groundwork, CPRE Derbyshire’s partner in this project, will provide tools, training and supervision – no experience necessary.  If you could spare a day (or two) or even half a day to help us you’d be a Hedgerow Hero .If you would like to volunteer please contact us at committee@cprederbyshire.org.uk
