[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7653677, member: 51054"] I think farmers are too keen to have everything looking too tidy, what is best for wildlife is mess, hedges in different stages, some uncut for a couple of years, that is why the schemes ask for 2 or 3 yearly cutting. We seem obsessed with the countryside being tidy, like a manicured lawn (clearing up all brush in a wood, cutting down all dead trees, trimming back all rough areas), this is one reason why we have so little wildlife here in the UK.
