Hedgerow Champions from Bransgore Primary School plant their very own hedge

CPRE Hampshire were once again delighted to meet up with the Hedgerow Champions from Bransgore Primary School, who spent an afternoon with us late last year learning about hedges. This time we worked with them to plant their very own 45 metres of hedge at the school. It was great to see the children’s enthusiasm as they helped us dig holes for the hedge plants and make sure the plants were firmly bedded in. They have all undertaken to look after the new hedge as it matures.

 

Chris, our volunteer hedgerow expert, explains what needs to be done.
Making a plan of action.
Observing the expert at work.
Getting stuck in.
Holding the ‘whips’, the young hedge plants, ready for planting.
Ensuring the roots are firmly in the ground.
Ensuring the whip can support itself.
Getting the job done.
Reviewing their accomplishments.
The whips in the ground.
A job well done.

And finally, you can hear it from the children themselves! These short films give you an insight into what they did and how much they enjoyed it.
