Here in Britain, hedges are a permanent feature of our landscape, and we take them very much for granted. But every hedge is a little world in itself providing most of the necessities of life for the birds, plants and animals that live within its protection. Nowadays the hedge itself needs our protection, for present-day herbicides, insecticides and farming methods are endangering its life. This book will show you just what we are in danger of losing if our hedges are destroyed.
