In order to promote the good management of Devon's hedges, the Devon Hedge Group and the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group (FWAG) are once again promoting a hedge competition. There are three classes of entry with £200 for first prize and £100 for second prize in each of the three categories.
Class 1: best newly laid hedge since last September
Class 2: best whole farm hedge management
Class 3: best restored Devon bank since last spring
The closing date for entries is 31st March and judging will take place during May.
Devon has some of the best hedgerows in the whole country and it is hoped that this competition will raise awareness of the many landowners that value and look after their hedges. If you care for your hedges (or know someone that does), an entry in the competition could win a useful cash prize.
