Book Description
In recent years there has been a much greater appreciation of the enormous contribution that hedges make to the countryside. Today, their beauty, their ability to provide wind protection and contain livestock, their environmental importance and their significance as a wildlife habitat, are all widely recognized. Not surprisingly, this transformation in the way we view hedges has, in turn, produced a welcome revival in the ancient craft of hedgelaying. Whether you own hedges, are thinking of growing them, or just have an interest in hedgerows, this fascinating, well-illustrated book will be of value to you. Hedges and Hedgelaying - A Guide to Planting, Management and Conservation contains of wealth of practical information and covers: the selection of hedgerow shrubs and trees and the associated significance of soil types and topography; the planting of hedges and the necessary preparation work; the use of trees in the hedgerow and the value of field margins; weed, pest and disease control, and hedge cutting, maintenance and protection; the craft of hedgelaying and the tools and processes involved. Well illustrated with nearly 200 drawings and photographs, this is an indispensable guide for all those interested in managing and preserving our hedgerows for future generations.

Book Description
"The West European hedgerow landscape extends along the Atlantic coast, including the British Isles, from Galicia in Spain to Jutland in Denmark. During the last century, however, there has been growing concern about the large-scale loss of hedgerows from the countryside." "In our post-modern age natural boundaries like hedgerows and wooded banks have increasingly been rationalised away at the expense of hard, synthetic barriers like fencing and barbed wire. Fences and Freedom presents an analysis of the vital importance of hedgerows and wooded banks to the conservation of biodiversity and the scenic quality of the countryside." "The book encourages readers to explore t̀he philosohy of hedgelaying', which challenges many common societal assumptions on general lifestyles, attitudes towards nature and culture, and ideas about landscape change in general."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hedges, Windbreaks, Shelters and Live Fences: A Treatise on the Planting, Growth and Management of Hedge Plants for Country and Suburban Homes My object will not be to say everything that can be said about my topic, but succinctly and clearly to give necessary information. I shall especially not undertake to create an enthusiasm for hedge plant ing; knowing well that where such a tendency is aroused it must be well sustained or the results will soon be a disgrace to our farms and rural residences. I shall keep this continually in view to stimulate my readers, and through them the American public, to a higher conception of the beautiful in home-making. The truly beautiful cannot be established by making a fad of any one Sort of utilities, or of ornaments like arbors, or of ornamental utilities like hedges. It is by a judicious and thoughtful use of all that nature provides that we make our surroundings the best, It is especially desirable that we learn to dis covers - to see - what nature freely offers us; for often the most glorious as well as the most valuable things are overlooked, while the inferior are cultivated.
