The National Hedgelaying Society (NHLS) is a UK-based charity dedicated to promoting and preserving the traditional craft of hedgelaying. We aim to raise awareness about the environmental and cultural significance of hedgerows, offering training courses and certifications to maintain high standards within the craft.
We also organise competitions and events to celebrate and showcase hedgelaying skills, and advocate for hedgerow conservation to support biodiversity and sustainable agriculture. By providing resources, expert advice, and a community network, the NHLS plays a crucial role in ensuring the continuation and appreciation of this vital rural tradition.
Hedgelaying preserves the past and protects the future.
We welcome your curiosity to find out more.
