Learn this traditional hedge management skill in a day long workshop with Hedgerow Ireland’s Eamonn MacLaughlin.

We will learn to use hand tools for hedgelaying and how to lay a hawthorn hedge.

“A hedge is laid every 25 to 30 years, once in a generation.

It is powerful to contemplate how land management practices can be interwoven across the generations.”

Know Your Hedgerows is an initiative supported by Kilkenny Leader Partnership that aims to celebrate the heritage of our hedgerows and foster the stewardship of hedgerows across Kilkenny .

Over the coming year , we will collaborate with community groups across Kilkenny in a series of training events, heritage projects and celebration events that help communities to celebrate and protect their hedgerows. Email [email protected] for more inforamtion
