Hedge Rows

I was speaking to my friend Kathryn McHolm this morning and we started off talking about computers, but as usual when talking to Kathryn the conversation soon travels to other areas. Kathryn and I both share an avid interest in the environment, flora & fauna and art. Both of us work in these interests in our lively hoods.
This morning the conversation soon came to roost on the importance of hedgerows in our landscape and how they are at risk because of huge mono culture fields. These fields are huge and it is so sad to see miles of corn growing which only supports more Canada geese, which, because of these practices are becoming a nuisance and are staying here all winter. As well, there are reasons in which to save a hedgerow, they support a whole eco-culture of insects,mammals and birds that actually do help to maintain an environmentally friendly control of unwanted pests and diseases.
So with all of this in mind I will soon be adding a new 'page' on hedgerows and it will list what you want in your hedgerow, like hawthorn and what you do not want such as the invasive European Buckthorn.
Right now I have to get to work on my copper and driftwood.
