The Tree Council welcomes the passing of UK Government legislation to protect hedgerows in England, including a cutting ban between March and the end of August.

In April, the Government announced its intention to introduce hedgerow protections, which had lapsed as cross compliance with European rules ended at the beginning of the year.

Now The Management of Hedgerows (England) Regulations 2024 has been made into law, effective from May 23 2024, providing a legal baseline for hedgerow management practices.
