Recently we fenced this tree and hedge planting at Haws Hill it is a riparian buffer - expanding out the existing native broadleaved woodland into the field to intercept and infiltrate surface water as it runs down the hill, slowing the flow of water into the brook, this is to help reduce flood risk in Tenbury as part of a wider natural flood management scheme,
The fencing consists XFence equine netting along all of the new hedges planted and some extra lengths of fencing to divide fields and on the boundary’s all so.
XFence stock netting 8/80/22 on the bottom side of the new hedge plantations with more stock netting following the brook line.
This is to allow for time restricted grazing for early spring and late summer for sheep to keep the growth of grasses and other plants down as not to smother the newly planted trees to much.
