Introduction to Hedge Laying – Balbriggan, Co. Dublin in February 2025

Hedge laying is an ancient skill, involving a rejuvenating process that keeps the hedgerow young and vigorous indefinitely. It is considered the optimum form of management for our native hedgerows and it is hard to overstate its value in preserving habitats for our threatened wildlife.

This one-day introduction programme is aimed at novice hedge layers and those whose skills might be a little rusty!

Training will involve a safety briefing, an introduction to the concept and benefits of hedge laying, and practical demonstrations and practice in the skills of hedge laying on a specially selected hedge on a working farm. Tools will be provided, but participants must wear suitable outdoor and protective clothing.

When? An option of two days, either Friday 21st February or Saturday 22nd February. The course will run from 10-3.30 pm.
Where? In Balbriggan, Co. Dublin. The exact location will be sent to registered attendees.
