About Hedgelaying

Hedgerows help to define the uniqueness of the British countryside and are an important wildlife habitat.
They require sympathetic management if we are to preserve them for future generations
.

Training Opportunities

The N.H.L.S has the following list of hedgelayers. They are all members of our society but we DO NOT GUARANTEE STANDARD OF WORK. IT IS UP TO THE CLIENT to satisfy themselves of the contractor's competence. However where a name is shown as NHLS ACCREDITED this means that the person has been approved by the society as working to the highest standards of skill and craftsmanship.
