Slow connection? Watch in lower quality

In this film by Tom Hartwell, we return to Key Habitats Officer Megan Gimber from the People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) for Part 2 of our healthy hedgerow mini-series. The hedge is now buzzing with wildlife. Megan explains how hedges provide the fundamental requirements of food, home, shelter and connectivity for wildlife and highlights how hedges play a vitally important role for us too, from improving the soil and cleaning air and water, to how hedgerows are rooted in our history and culture.
