CFE launches new advice on managing hedges to benefit pollinators
Hedges attract and support pollinators, boosting their numbers.
In turn, these pollinators move into field and orchards to improve pollination or crops such as oilseed rape, legumes and fruits resulting in increased yields.
They also increase the size of fruit produced by hedge plants and this provides winter food for birds.

The CFE helps farmers and land managers choose the right environmental measures, put them in the right place and manage them in the right way - to protect soil and water, and benefit wildlife.
