Of thorn & briar : a year with the West Country hedgelayer
Lamb, Paul, 1976-2026
Books
Paul Lamb is a hedgelayer. From the end of summer until the birds nest in the spring, he maintains the ancient boundaries of the British countryside. Hedgerows are a living structure, woven into the fabric of rural life, a vital aspect of man's partnership with nature. As traditional management techniques are lost to modernisation, hedges have declined dramatically. Paul works alone and by hand to rejuvenate these linear woodlands, saving the homes of the wildlife that rely on them and bringing many other ecological benefits. Following the rhythm of the seasons, this book describes Paul's life on the road and the practical aspects of his job. It is about practising a craft with skill, preserving our heritage for future generations and celebrating the glory of the landscape he's spent his life caring for.
