**What you get:** Up to 75% of the cost of trees, protection and advice for 100-250 m of new hedgerow

A Woodland Trust scheme that part-funds new hedgerows on farms and private land. The Trust supplies the hedge plants, tree protection and expert advice; the landowner pays the remainder and commits to looking after the hedge for at least 30 years. A large tree must be planted every six metres along the hedge.

## Who qualifies

Gapping up existing hedges, hedges around buildings and hedges running from a fence are not eligible.
