| This winter, Cheshire Landscape Trust, British Waterways and the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers (BTCV) will be working in partnership on the Canalside Hedgerow Improvement Programme (CHIP). This project aims to enhance and improve lengths of hedgerow all over Cheshire alongside the Shropshire Union, Llangollen and Trent & Mersey Canals. Working with local communities and local volunteers they plan to lay, coppice and gap-up significant stretches of hedgerows for the benefit of wildlife, biodiversity and the local landscape. All this work will make a significant contribution to the Hedgerow LBAP. Hedgerow Management Plans have identified the areas potentially benefiting from this project and where the work will be concentrated in the first year. The practical work will be carried out under supervision from BTCV tutors and is an excellent opportunity for anyone to get involved and gain BTCV accreditation at the same time. If you would like to get involved contact Katie Lowe at Cheshire Landscape Trust on 01244 376333 or e-mail [email protected] |
