I can think of nothing better than seeing tangled masses of hedgerows and scrub supporting life. I also see patches of Bramble, the odd spinney, a thicket, and an old hedgerow as being highways for birds and other wildlife to go about their daily business of breeding, feeding, and of course, links in winter for Tits etc to make their way between woodlands.<br />And Yes.....Apple and Blackberry Pie...tastes especially good when the ingredients are sourced from the local hedgerow.
