Volunteers are invited to help plant a new hedge around St Helena’s as part of the Knutsford Nature Action Plan.
With generous funding from United Utilities, a new native hedgerow will be planted around the open space to provide new habitat for wildlife.
Hedges are an important wildlife habitat and as the most widespread semi-natural habitat in the UK, they support a large diversity of flora and fauna. They make a great shelter and their flowers, berries and nuts are a vital food source for invertebrates, birds and mammals.
Just over 200m of hedgerow whips will planted around the perimeter of the site, with regular 3m gaps for passing through.
The planting will take place on Wednesday 18th February from 10am. Bring a spade/trowel and help make Knutsford a better place for nature.
