Laxfield Churchyard Hedge Survey and 5 year improvement plan

The Parish Council has carried out a hedge survey to support Laxfield’s Biodiversity Action Plan, which helps to improve our green spaces and promote a greater range of animal and plant habitats.  The survey covered the hedge around the Church, bordering Church Villas and Church Walk. A plan has now been drawn up showing the main plants found in the hedge in pictorial form, along with a detailed written survey. From this, a five-year rolling plan of improvement has also been developed.
