Hedgerow Hub

At CPRE Hampshire, we are committed to creating a thriving countryside that benefits people, nature, and wildlife. Together with our supporters, we help hedgerows flourish and ensure they remain an important part of the UK landscape.

CPRE Hampshire is delighted to share the success of the Big Give Green Match fundraising campaign, which saw donations doubled to support the growth of the Hampshire Hedge.

Hampshire Hedgerow

The Hampshire Hedge project is an ambitious new initiative to connect the two National Parks in Hampshire, the South Downs National Park and the New Forest National Park, with a nature recovery corridor of hedgerow. So far, we have successfully planted over 5000 meters of hedgerow.
