Today, their beauty, their ability to provide wind protection and contain livestock, their environmental importance and their significance as a wildlife habitat, are all widely recognized.

Hedges and Hedgelaying contains of wealth of practical information and covers:

* The selection of hedgerow shrubs and trees and the associated significance of soil types and topography.
* The planting of hedges and the necessary preparation work.
* The use of trees in the hedgerow and the value of field margins.
