"Garden hedging is fantastic for the environment, it creates great habitat for a range of species. Things you can do to encourage even more wildlife is planting a mix of native hedgerow species, providing food and shelter for all sorts of animals. Hawthorn is fantastic"

"In my personal opinion I would say any thing that creates a habitat for the nature around us is a good thing obviously the choice of hedging is also a factor and again my opinion would be a native hedge row hope this helps"
