Get reacquainted with hedgerows, an icon of our rural agricultural roots, and see what opportunities these linear landscapes can provide for us in today’s culture. In this program, David Hughes will present observations on how they were created, what native species they attract and what invasive species threaten them. He will also discuss the functions and ecological values that existing hedgerows provide and draw upon local and regional examples to show the splendor we have in our agricultural remnants. The discussion will end with some thoughts on how to best preserve these unique landscape features.

David Hughes is a registered landscape architect and owner of Weatherwood Design LLC, specializing in native plant-based garden design, ecology and natural habitat preservation.
