The Hedgelayer

A 10 minute film by CPRE Shropshire following South Shropshire hedgelayer Chris Rowe as he lays a hedge at Pam’s Pools near Bridgnorth. Filmed in Autumn sunshine, this is not a technical how-to video but more an impression of a hedgelayer’s life in the fields.

What is Regenerative Agriculture?

Regenerative agriculture is an effective way to restore biodiversity and stabilize the climate, but what exactly is it? This video explores three different regenerative practices that have great potential both in food production and in healing the land.

Stepping Stones project

A video introducing the Stepping Stones Project. A landscape-scale nature conservation project aiming to restore wildlife to the Stiperstones, the Long Mynd and the Onny Valley that separates the two sets of hills. This project is being run by the National Trust along in conjunction with other wildlife and conservation groups, local landowners and volunteers.

Farmers are changing the world with REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

All over the world farmers are developing an alternative system to regenerate soil instead of eroding it. To protect and increase water retention by covering with mulch and by growing continuous diverse crops, without tilling or ploughing. Be a part of the revolution, OUR SOILS NEED YOU.
