Though "man-made, hedges are in effect long thin strips of woodland, a network across Britain of hidden pathways and refuge for much of our native wildlife. Secrecy and cover: hence surely the appeal of hedges even for children. But the interest of hedges lies also in their history, which is also that of our post-Bronze Age landscape and rural society, and in their central importance to the ecology of the British countryside."
