January 2011 Crewe Green Church hedge

The hedge alongside the churchyard extension at Crewe Green Church has been a project for the HCV for several years.  We have layed the hedge to ensure a strong thick barrier from the adjoining farmers field.  This year it was time for a severe trim, leaving selected hedgerow trees with sufficient space to grow into maturity.

Our Cheshire East ranger used his chainsaw to cut back the larger branches, whilst Chris trimmed the thinner growth.



The major task was clearing the cut branches from approx 100m of hedge.  The waste was moved the area next to the car park and reduced in volume by careful use of the chainsaw.
