About the Isle of Wight Hedgerow Group
Promoting hedgerows on the Isle of Wight since 1998.
The Isle of Wight Hedgerow Group exists to encourage the planting of new hedges and the good management of existing ones; and to promote the art of hedgelaying. The group organises the annual Isle of Wight Hedgelaying Competition and is made up of individuals and organisations, from the Island and the mainland, who are interested in hedgerows on the Isle of Wight.
Each year, the Isle of Wight Hedgerow Group organises the Isle of Wight Hedgelaying Competition. A separate competition is run by the Wight Nature Fund.
