TCV Staff and a Sustrans Wildlife Champion
The hedgerow now sits beautifully running alongside the NCN768, linking Alva and Tillicoultry.
This is a brilliant cycle path and it’s well worth a visit…and a chance to check out our handy work!
Over all 2,500 hedgerows trees have been planted here. Species of trees included; hawthorn, hazel, blackthorn and dog rose.
Hedgerows are very a important part of the countryside and are integral for biodiversity an helping create habitat corridors for different animals and insects.
