Worcestershire Wildlife Trust Volunteers. Friday, 21 February 2014. Winter at Hill Court Farm. The Hill Court Farm reserve is a wetland reserve, but even here I don't think we've ever seen it quite as wet! This was the view last week, showing just how flooded some of the fields have become -. As for our intrepid volunteers, we have spent the winter clearing, coppicing and laying a long length of hedgerow which, as we've slashed, chopped and sawn away, has seemed an almost destructive task at times. If yo...

Worcestershire Wildlife Trust Volunteers: Hedgerow success at Hill Court Farm!
http://worcestershirewildlifetrust.blogspot.com/2014/03/hedgerow-success-at-hill-court-farm.html
Worcestershire Wildlife Trust Volunteers. Friday, 21 March 2014. Hedgerow success at Hill Court Farm! At the start of the Winter volunteering season we had one, long, unruly hedgerow, choked by brambles and looking very sorry for itself. The Hill Court Farm volunteers have slashed, chopped, sawn and dug away and the result is a hedgerow that can breathe, with lots of newly planted trees, which will offer a fantastic habitat for a diverse range of wildlife. So if you'd like the opportunity to experience s...
