Isle of Wight Hedgelaying Competition - Sat 25th February
February 25, 2012 - marketing
Get out into nature on Saturday 25th February for the 20th annual Isle of Wight Hedgelaying competition.
Taking place from 10am until 3pm at New Barn Farm, Calbourne, contestants compete to create the best laid hedge using only hand tools.
"Laying hedges is one of the techniques in managing hedgerows. Left unmanaged a hedgerow will continue to grow upwards and outwards and will eventually become a line of trees.
Where farmers keep cattle or sheep a good hedge is essential, for although barbed wire fences can easily be erected they do not provide shelter like a hedge and they are a haven for wildlife."
Get your wellies on and join in the fun!
Entry is FREE for competitors and spectators
