Hedgerows are dense rows of shrubs and trees that form natural boundaries between fields and properties. They provide habitats for various wildlife, including birds, insects, and small mammals. Hedgerows also help prevent soil erosion and improve biodiversity by offering food and shelter for many species. In agriculture, hedgerows can serve as windbreaks, reducing the impact of strong winds on crops. They can also enhance pollination by attracting beneficial insects like bees. Additionally, hedgerows can improve water quality by filtering runoff and reducing nutrient loss from farmland.
