Volunteers have restored over 100 metres of boundary hedge around Chaddesden Wood in quick time – meaning the remaining four scheduled sessions are no longer needed.
Work on the project was expected to take ten sessions, but after only six totalling over 600 volunteer hours, the traditional hedges leading to the Cherrybrook Drive entrance have been restored, improving the woodland habitat for wildlife.
The work was carried out by Derby Parks Volunteers, Derby Parks and members of the Friends of Chaddesden Wood, with new members learning the ancient craft of hedgelaying.
