HANDOVER OF 'ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT 2000' TO QUEX PARK (November 2004)

(See Project 6 on Trees for Thanet Projects Map)






The bend in Woodchurch Road with the planting of Phase 2 of 'Environmental Project 2000' in full swing in January 2000.






After 5 summers of weeding, tubex removal and trimming and shaping this hedge was ready to hand over to Quex Park Estates to look after. In November 2004, Trees for Thanet formally handed the care of this hedge over to Farm Manager Alistair Walmesley-Cotham and The Isle of Thanet Gazette recorded the moment!


This is the same section of hedge in April 2007 . The hedge was cut (flailed) in January 2007 to give an A shape top which is a typical trimming pattern for wildlife hedgerows as opposed to stock proof hedges.
