Trees and Hedgerows
Planting a tree or establishing a hedge or hedgerow is truly a legacy action that future generations will benefit from. Your trees don’t have to be true natives, but if they are, they’ll thrive. Our native wildlife will love what they have to offer, be that as a food source, a breeding ground or simply a safe, protective place to shelter. If you choose to plant naturalised non-natives, then just make sure they’re non-invasive.
For the late Queen’s Golden Jubliee, Re-Betchworth organised the planting of 70 trees throughout the village; any tree you can plant, large, small or even in a pot will help nature and the climate.
You can find our excellent Re-B tree-planting guide here and for more really useful websites on the subject of trees and hedges - see our recommendations below:
