Hedgerow Action Days – Every Thursday

As the hedgerow planting season draws to a close, our focus shifts to mulching and surveying. These activities are crucial for maintaining the health and growth of our hedgerows. If you’re interested in participating in a Hedgerow Action Day, please email hampshirehedge@cprehampshire.org.uk to register your interest.

Join our Annual General Meeting

Come and join us at our Annual General Meeting at Sparsholt Rural Business Centre on Saturday 7th June.

Our key speaker will be Roger Mortlock, CEO of National CPRE who will tell us all about the exciting plans for celebrating the charity’s 100th anniversary in 2026, as well as updating us with the current challenges facing the countryside.

Ellie Banks, our hedgerow officer, will talk about our flagship ‘Hampshire Hedge’ project and all our work to improve hedgerows in Hampshire.

A light buffet lunch will be served, it’s a great opportunity to connect with CPRE members and countryside lovers across Hampshire.
