Lavenham Literary Festival - Richard Negus

Hedges are as old as civilisation and emblematic of the British countryside, but they often remain on the periphery of public consciousness.

Richard Negus takes us on a journey that reveals these ribbons are much more than mere decoration or boundary markers. They are essential for much needed wildlife recovery and a testament to generations of human skill and labour requiring ongoing maintenance to survive and thrive.

Words from the Hedge is a timely exploration of how we can use hedges to make the British countryside a place where nature has a home.

Richard Negus is a former soldier and professional horseman. He now las hedges for a living and is recognised as one of the country’s leading exponents and practitioners of hedgerow management. He co-hosts a weekly podcast, Countryslide, covering British rural life.
