Hedgerows are one of the most important habitats for wildlife and with correct management will support a good variety of birds, small mammals, insects and plants.

Ideally the hedge should be thick and bushy, as this type is more beneficial to many birds than thin straggly hedges. Hedgerow shrubs such as hawthorn and bramble will provide fruits for food.

If a bush is very straggly or overgrown, more drastic measures such as coppicing, may be needed. Coppicing involves rejuvenating bushes by cutting down to near ground level. This encourages vigorous regrowth. Coppicing is best done in sections in order to reduce the impact on wildlife. During the winter, cut back the main stem to just above ground level. Cut at an angle to allow the water to run off. In the spring, several shoots will grow up, thus thickening the bush.

There's nothing better than looking after some local flora, and ensuring the habitat is both pleasant to look at, as well as serving it's purpose for the local fauna. I'm fantasising about putting my chunky gloves on and pruning some bush now.

I've got a massive bush in my garden. I'm not entirely sure what to do about it so I'm calling it my nature area.

Like not cutting the grass and calling it a meadow?

(I would actually love a meadow, but you know, London, so my postage stamp will do!)
