With over 2,100 submissions, CPRE’s Hedgelife Help Out project (in collaboration with The Tree Council) proved to be a huge success. What’s more, a vast majority found it great for wellbeing and felt more connected to nature.

We were delighted with the enthusiasm that so many of you showed in taking part in our inaugural ‘Hedgelife Help Out’ project during May, as part of the wider Big Help Out initiative.

The project was based around an area we care about a lot – hedgerows. It took the form of a straightforward ‘survey’ and asked people to go out and spend time near a hedgerow, reporting back what they saw, the wildlife they found, and how the experience made them feel.

We wanted to create an accessible citizen science project that not only gave us some insight into the state of hedgerows across the country, but also helped people connect with nature. We’re now pleased to report the top line results from the survey.
