A PROJECT in Ulverston has been selected to receive funding to help protect Cumbria’s hedgerows
Thousands of pounds worth of grants have been awarded to four projects across Cumbria to help protect the county's hedgerows.
Grants of up to £2,300 were handed out as part of the Real Hedge Fund Campaign, an organisation made up of donations from businesses, visitors and residents who love the Lake District.
Four projects have been selected, at Hutton Head Farm in Penrith, Holme House Farm in Skelsmergh, Low Park Hedge in Tebay and Barn at Thwaite Head, Ulverston.
The fund aims to highlight the importance of hedgerows in the environment and the role within the cultural and natural heritage of the Lake District, and has an ambitious target to plant 4km of native hedgerows across Cumbria. The next round of funding will be in September.
