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.
We’re thrilled to kick off the second phase of the Hampshire Hedge project and continue our mission to create a green nature corridor connecting the two National Parks in Hampshire, the South Downs National Park and the New Forest National Park.
Over a three-year period the nature recovery project will:
- Educate the public and raise awareness
- Plant more native hedgerows
- Manage existing hedgerows for wildlife
- Attract new talent to learn traditional hedge laying skills
- Inspire people to take action
- Ensure more hedgerows are managed effectively in the future
In the coming months, we’ll be planting new hedgerows, laying existing ones, and offering numerous volunteer opportunities to help nurture Hampshire’s hedgerows, so that they are well-prepared to thrive in the coming seasons.

We're Connecting the South Downs and New Forest with a Nature Recovery Corridor
We’re now halfway through the Hampshire Hedge project (planting started in Autumn 2023) and we’re really proud of how much we’ve achieved. During the winter planting season, volunteers successfully planted 5,098m of hedgerow, digging and planting approximately 25,500 plants.
