Derek from #buddingnature made us think about ways that Cornish hedges can become corridors for wildlife.

Anne from @cornwallcouncil.bsky.social showed us how stone faced artistry and shapes of Cornish hedges have evolved over the last 4,000 years. The bird's-eye view of these structures is awe-inspiring!

The labyrinth stands as a symbol of heritage entwined with the natural landscape, where a human-made structure is adorned with a living ecosystem 🪻🐝🪨 this will be a central theme in my research.

Aryah Nagarajan of @falmouthuniversity.bsky.social has beautifully captured life in the crevices of a Cornish hedge. Look below!
In her short film "Hidden Pearls", you will witness the birth of teeny slugs that she found in the hedge: youtu.be/HkU1fyaV2NM?...

The exhibition illustrated how native plant species that slowly disappear from heavily managed land find a haven in Cornish hedges. Combined with the museum about ancient Cornwall, I was blown away by the confluence of Nature and human history!

As a visual learner, I find it helpful to create mind-maps and collages when I'm dealing with a lot of information.
My literal tree of knowledge/literature will soon become a written literature review

After two days of digging, sorting rocks, and packing in soil, us three trainees managed to complete two layers (a.k.a. courses) of the field hedge 🥵 "It's like pieces from a thousand jigsaw puzzles, and you have to make them fit" says our trainer 🙇

Over 30,000 miles of Cornish hedges exist today! Their sandy banks host large ancient trees, layers of moss and fern, and wildflowers that feed bees and butterflies 🌸🐝 Hidden in plain sight, you'll spot Cornish hedges in towns like Falmouth too!

My research will take (quite literally) a deep dive into these woody features to investigate what they have to offer as a means for nurturing Nature in our cities, towns, farms, and backyards!

I like to think of these strips of trees and hedges as "highways for wildlife". Outlining farms, roads, railways, running along streams and backyards, they can link large wild areas together, allowing animals to safely move through the land...
