A new pocket guidebook to hedgerows has been launched by the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE).
The guidebook is designed to be used by those with little or no knowledge of hedgerows to get them interested in their local landscape and its living heritage.
Dr Helena Whall, campaign manager of CPRE Oxfordshire, said: “The pocket guide has been produced to celebrate the richness of our hedgerows, and to remind people of the importance of protecting England’s hedgerows for future generations.
“A Little Rough Guide around the Hedges is packed with useful information including a handy pull-out centrespread with easy-to-use colour photographs that identify many of the plants that are common in English hedgerows.
“We hope it will encourage many people to get out and about in their countryside during the early autumn.”
CPRE Oxfordshire has free copies of the guidebook to give away to Country Matters readers.
