Risky Hedge Site

Under Cover Operation


Once again I hide, in the dark and the rain.  This time from a passing car and behind a small Bank, under a wind battered but very vigorous Silver Birch, which I planted about nine years ago.
This site is right on the edge of a village, so day time planting is out of the question. 


From the road; a granite wall is backed with a grassy bank, and behind it is a barbed wire fence and then a field.

What I am doing here is; planting a hedge, which contains Oak, Birch, Hazel, Holly, Sallow and Dog Rose.

A thin road-side strip of natural woodland, and all collected from less than 20 miles away.


Few native trees exist nearby, only block planted Beech.

The site is on a ridge top, about 20 metres from the moor and sits over 400 meters above sea level.

A short cut en route
