CPRE Hedgerow Heroes project

Hedge creation 2024/25 - it's that time of year again!

This winter as part of the Hedgerow Heroes project, CPRE Shropshire will be planting well over 4km of new native mixed-species hedgerow on around 30 sites.

We can only deliver hedge creation with the help of our brilliant volunteers, so do sign up for what you can below. We will do our best to ensure hot drinks and refreshments are available at all sites.

Booking form for volunteer hedge planting days

Fill in the form below and select the hedge sites you would like to volunteer for.
It is useful if you can supply a mobile number in case we need to contact you on the day.
If you have any questions do ask us on admin@cpreshropshire.org.uk

I would like to receive occasional updates from CPRE Shropshire on the Hedge Project via email. (We will not share your details with anyone else.)

Hedge sites for 2024/25:
All plantings start at 10am unless otherwise stated and will be led on the day by a volunteer lead who will show you how to plant if you have not done so before. We will contact you nearer the time with information about the site, venue, parking, what to bring etc.
We are able to offer hot drinks/cake at most sites to keep you going! Spades are provided (or bring your own). Children are very welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.
Should you have any questions meantime, please feel free to email us on admin@cpreshropshire.org.uk
Thank you!
