That way they act as wildlife corridors around the farm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b02f3c9fd20271fa3bc10a/674e1a7c-db85-4320-99f4-a384fdc70682/Caradoc+Estate+Known+SCIMAP.jpg What's on - New Hedges - Make it stand out Where possible hedges are planted across flow lines to help to prevent excess nutrient from reaching watercourses, help reduce flooding and reduce the impact of drought by enabling water to be slowly released during the summer. The hedge plants themselves are great at soaking up water but the soil beneath the hedge also acts as a really good sponge. If you dig a hole under a hedge the soil will likely have a completely different structure, smell and colour to that in the adjacent field. The red, yellow and turquoise areas of the map show high risk areas of the farm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b02f3c9fd20271fa3bc10a/32654ac5-8983-4049-9fce-c7f46ba122b9/IMG_6389.jpg What's on - New Hedges Robin, Dreda and Brigid https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b02f3c9fd20271fa3bc10a/b3f3e433-93ec-43a7-b65f-83b75a05b8b8/hedgerow-management-with-key-a410241024-1.jpg What's on - New Hedges - Make it stand out We’ll be trying to implement a hedgerow management plan to make sure our new and existing hedges are as healthy as they can be. Healthy hedges are better habitats, store more carbon, clean more water and help to keep water in the landscape for longer which reduces flooding. The new hedges will be allowed to grow tall for about 10 years and will then be laid. Historically this is what made hedges livestock proof. In the meantime we’re protecting our hedges with fences to make sure our sheep and cattle don’t damage them. When they’re larger the animals will be able to “browse” the hedges will will compliment a balanced diet and provide them vitamins and minerals. The hedges will also provide shelter for them. Some of the hedges on the farm are in need of rejuvenating and will be laid or coppiced in the next few years. Coppicing involves cutting the hedge right down to be base. It looks very brutal but when the stumps start producing new shoots they grow incredibly quickly and it will be no time at all before the hedge looks bushy again. Massive thanks to the People’s Trust for Endangered Species for producing the diagram. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b02f3c9fd20271fa3bc10a/7fed9316-03f0-4309-b990-43138decf9df/IMG_6677.jpg What's on - New Hedges Maggie (Canis lupus familiaris), James, Minx, Chloe and Alice (Homo sapiens) wrapping up the 2023/4 season in style! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b02f3c9fd20271fa3bc10a/d6a2a554-2ac9-4122-ba5a-973bcead91c4/Caradoc+Tithe+Map+AONB.jpg What's on - New Hedges - Make it stand out In the past 3 years we have planted around 900 m of new hedgerow. Over the next three winters we are planning to plant 3,600 m. We use historic maps such as the 1840 tithe map above and the post war aerial photograph below to see where historic field boundaries were. Most of our new hedges are being reinstated along more or less along historic boundaries but in a way which works for bigger modern machinery. https://www.caradocfarm.co.uk/blog/floodplain-meadow-restoration monthly 0.5 2024-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b02f3c9fd20271fa3bc10a/2a5226bf-4740-4701-89df-3d2be2ae05dc/Screenshot+2024-09-18+122331.jpg What's on - Floodplain Meadow restoration - Make it stand out Plants to look out for next summer! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b02f3c9fd20271fa3bc10a/a5a190d4-d005-455a-900d-22f1f0483a3a/IMG_5013.jpg What's on - Floodplain Meadow restoration - Make it stand out Volunteers broadcasting seed whilst contractors finish off preparing the soil! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b02f3c9fd20271fa3bc10a/91ac943a-9c36-4d00-bee6-a4741f127297/IMG_5015.jpg What's on - Floodplain Meadow restoration - Make it stand out Rolling between local landmarks.
