Recent examples of Everitt Countryside work

Dead hedge, Fairlight

The benefits of a dead hedge include ‘green highway’ creation, e.g. linking two habitats together. In this case the goal was to link two areas occupied by dormice. Depending on the availability of brash - the material used - a dead hedge can be created relatively quickly. This example is 200 metres in length and was completed in three days.
